Parallels

Resolution

As part of the Virtuozzo installation, the following registry key and values are set to point our servers where only approved Microsoft Updates are available:
 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

"WUServer"="http://vzwinupdate.sw-soft.com"
"WUStatusServer"="http://vzwinupdate.sw-soft.com"

Starting from Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.0 it is possible to configure VUS ( Virtuozzo Update Service which provides with the same functionality as WSUS, but for Virtuozzo updates). The following registry key and values are configured in this case:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SWsoft\VZUpdates\{GUID}\DefaultURL
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SWsoft\VZUpdates\{GUID}\URL


In Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.0, all these settings could be configured through GUI as well. To do that, please run Virtuozzo Update Wizard and go to Proxy Settings.

Note: If a Virtuozzo server is member of Active Directory domain it's strongly recommended configuring group policies to exclude the server from applying domain's WSUS settings.
