I need the computers to update from a loca...

My problem is: I have serveral computers (not connected to the internet) on a network. Because of that, they cannot access the Microsoft servers, but their server can. So, I want the server to get the updates from Microsoft, AND the rest of the computers to get the updates from the local server. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance!

After a bit of research in the internet I found this

I think I'm on the right track.

Just remember you are working with 2 programs

...APUP will download the files to create a release - it will need the internet connection.
...AutoPatcher will install the updates.

About the server:
Well, if your server can connect to the internet directly - no proxy etc I don't know why not. I would download and try, if all
else fails just delete the apup directory. You just want to make sure apup.exe has free access to the internet.

...How To Download APUP

About a network share:
Running AutoPatcher (not APUP) from a network share I believe has been hit and miss - here is some info until someone with more
experience can elaborate...

This is from the AutoPatcher FAQ...
Q: Can i use AutoPatcher from a network share?
A: Yes. Note, with a UNC path, either use This Utility someone was working on, or follow rtk's instructions Found Here.
