KB How-to Article
This article shows you how to prevent users from being able to update their software. This may be necessary to control versions of the product in your organization.
In order to block users from updating the software, it is necessary to block traffic to https://apps.cognillo.com.
The full path the SharePoint Essentials Toolkit uses to update is:
https://apps.cognillo.com/appupdates/essentials/SPEssentialsToolkitSetup.zip
Users who subscribe to our automated email notifications for the update will also have this link:
https://apps.cognillo.com/appupdates/essentials/SharePointEssentialsToolkitSetupMSI.zip
Blocking (by DNS entry (redirect to invalid location) or firewall) ensure the user will not be able to update using links within the tool or manually from our website or email notifications.
See our User Guide ("SharePoint Essentials Toolkit - Installation & Deployment (MS Word)") for information on changing the auto-update frequency in the tool.
