Browse All TopicsHi Experts
We currently have a main office and 3 branch office in the main office the clients receive their update from the sepm and in the remote office we have setup Group update providers but i have a few concerns and was wandering if any can help me with:
first how can i check to make sure that the clients are using the GUP as their update source
second in one of the remote office i have a file server that is only running antivirus and antispyware and the the clients in this site are running anti virus antispyware and nethwork, and proactive threat protection i would like to know if the file server would be able to provide updates to the client for all of their features.
finally does the gup have to be in the same group as the clients that receive updates from it ( or is it enough for them to be in the same subnet)
