    Hi,

    Environment:

    i am using Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 (11.0.6100.645) for my company. At all i have 1300 managed clients in different vlan's and around 30 locations in the world. In the locations a GUP is responsible for the updates. In the locations i have normally around 20-60 clients. In the Headquarter i have around 700 managed clients located in different vlan's.

    For the complete organization i have two SEPM installed.

    We are unsing the following structure: \\country\location\computer for computers  and \\country\location\server for servers.

     

    Problem:

    The update-performance of the locations are fine. But the update-performance in the Headquarter is bad. It could take up to 4 hours and more until a client is up2date. The same problem we have with new installed clients in the headquarter.

     

    Question:

    I have to speed up the udpate-process of my headquarter. As i descripted above, the clients are located in different vlans. My idea is to install one more SEPM which is only responsible for my biggest vlan.

    In the SEPM-Console (Policies\Policy Componets\Management Server Lists) i want to create a  new management server list where only the new managment server is located.

    But what i have to do, that only clients from one vlan will use this management server list?

    BR

    Julian.

    place all the clients of the VLAN in one group and assign the new MSL>

    Management Server List works on Groups so if you add a Server List and assign it to particular group or Groups they will Point to that server for updates .
