Remote Update: web-based central installations on Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows 2003 with Service Pack 1

This product is nearing retirement. We strongly recommend that you upgrade in order to ensure your protection stays fully up to date.

Where a shared Remote Update central installation directory (CID) has been placed on the web using a Windows 2003 or Windows XP Professional computer, traffic must be allowed through port 80 when that computer is upgraded with Windows 2003 Service Pack1 (SP1) or Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).

What to do

After installing Windows 2003 SP1 or Windows XP SP2, configure the installation to permit HTTP (web) traffic through port 80.

If you need more information or guidance, then please contact technical support.
