This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi!

Is there a way in Symantec Endpoint Protection to store Definition Updates decentralized? The customer want to use one central Management Server but there are a bunch of remote branches of the company and each of them should download the definition update from the "central" Management Server to a local server (ie. on a Proxy Server)and dristribute the received content to its LAN-clients.

This there a way to do this?

Thanks!

 For De-Centalised definition

 For De-Centalised definition distribution you need Group Update Provider.

One important thing to remember

One important thing to remember is that a GUP must have a static IP.   In my case I use the SMS site servers as my GUP each office has one and since they are also a server they can handle more than 10 connections hitting it at once.    Definatly read he GUP instructions fully and understand it to save your self alot of headaches.  Also make sure your on the latest build as the GUP's do have alot of improvments as the releases came out.
