Group Update Providers- Part 2

Good one.... thanks Aniket 

Hello,

Here is an Amazing Work of Aniket in form of Video.

GUP is one of the few Topics which is widely Focused by Customer's of Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Aniket here not only explains the Entire GUP overview but also covers the systematically stating with Assigning GUP  to understanding of Logs.

A very hard Work done by Aniket (creating 2 videos - Part 1 and Part 2)

Amazing!!!! Great work done by Aniket...

100 % Complete .

Hi,
Nice and good videos, unfortunatly I havent seen the whole part 2 but I will continue tomorrow.

I got a question/problem that I havent got any answer from the support on yet and dont see any answer so far in the videos.

We got some servers (30) that act as GUP on several sites with bad bandwidth round the globe. This GUP's are windows servers 2003. The servers got the SEP11 version MR3 installed.

What we now see when we have upgraded almost all windows clients (45 000)  to RU5 is that the clients that using this GUPs are not updated from the GUP and not conected to the GUP but We see that the clients that still using the MR3 is conecting to the GUP's.
We are not using the Multiple Group update providers we using the "old" single group update.....

Is there a known issue that GUP's with an older version (MR3) of SEP11 installed cant update cleints with a newer version (RU5)? I cant find any Kb on that and our Symantec contact could not answer directly. 
If there is a know issue we will update the servers but if not what can be wrong you think?

Thanks and have a nice day // LGL 

Appreciate the hard work Aniket
The video is very helpful and awesome to understand GUP technology.
Here some query’s I have, hopefully someone can clarify me on this.

1. Does the GUP machine takes only incremental updates from SEPM server except 1sttime when it has been configured GUP machine
2.  Is there any way if I don’t want to send clients to SEPM console for update lookup. Client must only pull data only policy changes are done. Hope you got my concern. Reason is some of our remote location has 64 KBPS link. I have already configured GUP for location but still want to reduce the data transfer rate from SEPM to GUP / client machine.

Best regards,

Siddhesh Rane.

Aniket,

Thanks for the excellent videos....a couple follow-up questions:

1.) Where do SEP clients store the network filtered GUP list?

2.) When defining rules for multiple GUP's, one of the options is hostname. Can this be a DNS alias?

Example - avmaint-sec (alias) = server1

Therefore when server1 pulls down the LU policy the alias name resolves to itself and therefore server 1 becomes a GUP.

Excellent work, Aniket!

Thank you a lot, both videos helped me understand what was wrong in my implementation :)
