Client versions should get automatically upgraded when SEPM is upgraded.

Hi,

Maintenance releases for SEP are being released very frequently....Either we face bandwidth issues while upgrading the clients over WAN or the process is time consuming.

Upgrading clients through GUP is a good option which has been already put across in previous threads.

We are managing a huge network comprising of 13000 plus machines..

I feel that whenever SEPM is upgraded with the latest maintenance released,we should be able to set the upgradation schedule groupwise...so that clients automatically download the package at that particular time and get upgraded...

Also we should be able to set the bandwidth usage limit like the one which we have in GUP settings introduced in RU5...

Need your comments and views on this.

Regards,
Sathyan

You already can upgrade clients on a schedule with Upgrade Groups with Package.
