SolutionChris:
Thats hard to say. Microsoft has LOTS of IP ranges.
If you ping windowsupdate.microsoft.com, you get something in the 207.46.x.x range. They have the whole range... 207.46.0.0 - 207.46.255.255
Click here for a bigger listing of ranges they use or have access to... https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-networking/need-windows-update-servers-ip-address-range-to/0b0d3618-f74c-411d-bb46-58bd605f7abe
I am pretty sure Windows Update always comes from that specific range though... 207.46.x.x, but could be wrong.

Re: I need IP range of microsoft windows update server
I've tried with 207.46.0.0 - 207.46.255.255
and it doesn't work.
but if I try to put in addition:
213.19.0.0 - 213.19.255.255
and
212.73.0.0 - 212.73.255.255
then it works well.
that's very strange and hard to understand, because there are not MS ranges.
greetings
chris

What is your external IP? or IP block? Obviously you do not need to disclose if you rather not. It's understood without question.

Both of these services allow you to use a server (or many) on your network to download the patches and updates from MS Windows Update and distribute them automaticaly to your Windows clients.
