GUP question (should be simple)!
Created: 06 Aug 2012 | Updated: 07 Sep 2012 | 7 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Let's say I have a Group (I have a GUP in this group), also in this group I have 2 sub-groups (let's say workstations and servers), if I assign the sub-groups to get updates from the GUP in the main group, will it work? Or do I need a GUP for each sub-group.
I want to keep workstations and servers in different groups due to the policy differences, but would only like to use 1 GUP for def updates.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Marty

That will work. As long as the clients know which GUP to use, and that client knows it is a GUP, it will work.
I know that (because I tried it) if I have a group with all the GUPs in it, other groups don't update. I tried to put my GUPs into their own group, and other groups wouldn't update from them.
Hi,
Understanding and Identifying the different Group Update Provider (GUP) Options in SEP 11.0.5 RU5 and Later

Don't read over this important paragraph:
The GUP whitepaper is also a good reference.
Check this fourms for help.

The documents posted above by Manish are very good references. Your setup is almost identical to ours - we use servers as GUPs because they are available 24/7, but we have desktops and servers in separate groups so we can apply different scan policies etc.
Try using the fully qualified domain name in the GUP assignment field of the LiveUpdate policy. Check Windows Firewall is not blocking GUP requests.
It depends on the conditions you use for the clients to identify what GUPs to use but as long as they are the same, they should update regardless.

Hello,
Thumbs up to the above comments.
The computer that you select as the GUP must have a LiveUpdate policy that defines it as a GUP. Clients a GUP serves must have a policy that points them to their GUP.
If the Group Update Provider runs a Firewall, you must modify the Firewall policy to receive communications on TCP port 2967.
Hope that helps!!
