  • 1.  Confusion over "Explicit Group Update Providers" GUPs not becoming GUPs!

    Posted Jul 31, 2015 06:01 AM

    Hi all,

    I have the following setup which im testing in a lab environment,

    I have a central site (named CEN) with a subnet of 10.101.0.0/16 and a remote site (named LON) with subnet 10.111.0.0/16. Clients should download from the GUPs as follows:

    Subnet -> GUP

    10.101.0.0/16 -> 10.101.0.51 (CEN-FP1)

    10.111.0.0/16 -> 10.111.0.51 (LON-FP1)

    I have the following liveupdate policy configured at the root level applied to all clients:

    The problem is that the GUPs are not becoming a GUP!

    I can check on the server and the SharedUpdates folder is not created ... what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance

    Ben

    You also need to select either the multiple group update providers box or single group update provider. It's a two part process. Selecting only Explicit does not turn clients into GUPs

    "Thumbs Up" to Brian!

    The explicit GUP option does not enabled GUP functionality.  Therefore you must tell these machines to be GUPs by using either the Single or Multiple GUP option.

    Oops, should've read the "This list does not turn clients into a GUP" !!

    I've configured as follows and it's now working as expected
