  • 1.  Best way to reduce WAN traffic

    Posted Jun 03, 2010 09:36 AM
    Is there a way to reduce the endpoint traffic going across the WAN?  Is it possible to setup a secondary/slave server in my remote office that will pull down the updates from my SEP server and then it will be in charge of distributing them to the rest of the clients at the remote office?


    Thanks

    You can configure a GUP

    You need to follow this doc
    How to configure mobile computers to automatically download virus definitions when disconnected from the Symantec Endpoint Protection Management console
    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2008040214442248


    or you can set up one client in your remote office as gup . that will update your remote clients.
