    No effect other gup.

    No Effect SEPM.

    If you have select below confiuration in sepm once SEP GUP failed to provide defination,all sep client will direct update SEPM.

     

    Maximum time that clients try to download updates from a Group Update Provider before trying the default management server

    This option lets clients bypass a Group Update Provider if they try and fail to connect to the Group Update Provider. You can specify a length of time after which clients can bypass the Group Update Provider. When clients bypass the Group Update Provider, they get content updates from the default server.

    Select one of the following options:

    • Check Never if clients only get updates from the Group Update Provider and never from the server. For example, you might use this option if you do not want client traffic to run over a wide area connection to the server.

    • Check After to specify the time after which clients must bypass the Group Update Provider. Specify the time in minutes, hours, or days.

    Thanks James !..

    Assume that each GUP has 500 clients .OK .So, when 4 GUPs were working properly.In that case only 4 machines were taking updates from my SEPM central console .But when two GUP are not working in that case ,2 GUPs and 1000 clients are taking update from my SEPM .So, How could you say that "No Effect SEPM."

     

    Note:Also remember that No internet is available on all the machines .All the machines are taking updates from my management SERVER.

    i have already provide Some more information in above comment

    That case Below option you have configured

    Check After to specify the time after which clients must bypass the Group Update Provider. Specify the time in minutes, hours, or days.

    If you don't want no any effect you can select below option.

    Check Never if clients only get updates from the Group Update Provider and never from the server. For example, you might use this option if you do not want client traffic to run over a wide area connection to the server

    The GUPs are not dependant on one another. If one fails, you can configure your clients to bypass it and go to the SEPM for updates.
