    do you want to use auto upgrafe or push method?

    since  clients are in LAN. you can autoupgrade one group at a time or you can schedule the upgrade.

    You can use auto-upgrade, client deployment wizard or a third party method such as sccm or even gpo

    How many clients are in single group?

    If all the clients are in local network then you can choose the autoupgrade feature one by one on all groups.

    note that the load on SEPM should also be considered.

    Hi,

    Check pete comments on this thread

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/sep-11061-install-package-upgrade-question

    Upgrade Schedule lets you control the time of the client computer upgrade.

    - From, To:

    • Specifies a range of time over which to install packages. If the From and To times match, the upgrades start immediately.

    - Distribute upgrades over:

    • Specifies the number of days or hours over which the packages can be distributed.
    • The following formula calculates time:
      • (Package Size\Server Transfer Rate) * Number of Computers

        as

        MB / MB per second * Num = seconds
