Local Apple Software Update Server for Windows
Posted: Mar 26, 2008 3:18 PM
 

Has anyone figured out, how to use Leopard's Software Update Server, as a local Apple Software Update Server for Windows?

As you may know, 10.5 Software Update Server downloads, not only mac updates, but the windows' version of them as well (e.g. Safari, iTunes for windows).

There has to be a way to use that new feature.

Hi

As far as I know 10.4 and 10.5 SUS only supports 10.4 and 10.5 Clients. I've seen no reference for supporting Windows clients at all.

Apple wrote:
Software Update Server is capable of automatically mirroring updates between
Apple’s software update server and your local server to guarantee that the most
current updates are immediately available. Mac OS X Server also supports hosting
Apple updates for software running in Boot Camp, such as iTunes and QuickTime for
Windows. To ensure security, all updates are digitally signed by Apple.

Comes from http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/L355781B_SoftwrUdt_TB.pdf

No idea, how to get it running smoothly yet, however. ;)

Macs. They're fun. :)   Mac OS X (10.5.2)   PCs. They're not. :(
