Push deployment:
Management servers and clients use TCP 139 and 44, UDP 137 and 138, and TCP ephemeral ports for push deployment.

Best recommended is to deploy with the same.

Is reboot required for 12.1.1 to 12.1.4

Reboot is must for the upgrade of sep client file system.

what is size of the package it will flow over network

Sep client package is approx 300mb.

You an run the computer status report in SEPM and drop into excel and filter

Do you have a third party tool or only SEPM? If only SEPM, you're going to need to break it up by group or locations. It's going to be a slow process.

If you're installing all components, yes, a reboot is needed.

Last package size I saw was 400MB+

can you please share me article on - size of sep package over network will transfer while deploying

For 16K systems is this is the best way to deploy or SCCM.

Above link was unable to clear my query,

is SEPM autoupgrade feature uses any other ports,

I have addedd package to one test group, but user says has not got any notification.

User won't be notified unless you set the notification, did you? Otherwise it will happen in the background. Is it a silent package?

yes notification is set and its visible.please see attachment

It's set for upgrading over 7 days. How long has it been?

it is since 8 Aug 2014. is there anything we need to do along with adding package in the group apart from this.

Nope. Will happen between the 8th-15th. So it doesn't mean something is wrong.

Clinet is up-graded now via SEPM, thanks
