Windows Update requirements

Updated: July 10, 2008

All student-owned PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista, XP or 2000 are required to have Windows Automatic Updates enabled and configured to automatically download and install all recommended updates. The Cisco Clean Access network security system checks the Automatic Updates configuration each time you log in via the Clean Access Agent. PCs with disabled or misconfigured Windows Updates will be quarantined and denied full network access.

Windows Vista: To make sure your Automatic Updates are configured properly, go to Control Panel -> Security -> Windows Update and select Change settings. Click the Install updates automatically (recommended) option and choose a desired schedule (at least once per week).

Windows Vista computers must be configured to download and install recommended updates at least once per week.

Windows XP and 2000: To make sure your Automatic Updates are configured properly, right-click on My Computer and click the Automatic Updates tab. Click the Automatic (recommended) option and choose a desired schedule (at least once per week).

Windows XP and 2000 computers must be configured to download and install recommended updates at least once per week.

If you're running an old version of Automatic Updates, click here and follow the instructions to download and install the latest version of Windows Update.
