  • 1.  Best Practices to Configure SEPM in Replica Mode

    Posted Apr 23, 2009 04:51 AM
    Hi all,

    I have two sites -> site A and site B. Currently site A is installed with SEPM + SEP clients(50 users) + Liveupdate Administrator.

    Now site B would like to install managed SEP clients(10 users). I know that i can install SEPM on site B as a replica mode which it will inherit all settings from site A

    My questions are as follow

    1. If i created a new install packages using SEPM at site B and install on a client pc, will the PC reflect on both sites SEPM?

    2. can i configure site B all clients to download liveupdate definitions from another server instead of site A server? Is it using policy?

    3. if i made any changes on sites B,will all the changes sync to Site A? 

    Please assist...sorry for my bad english!!!

    If you install replica server in Site-B then,

    1.  Clients installed with Site-B's installation package will be shown in both the sites as Site-B is the replica of Site-A.

    2.  You can create Live Update Policy to point update download link from another server.

    3.  Since Site-B is the replica of Site-A, changes made in Site-B will be replicated to Site-A.

    1. If i created a new install packages using SEPM at site B and install on a client pc, will the PC reflect on both sites SEPM?

    It will reflect ob both sides of the SEPM.But it will point ot only one sepm for policy and definitions

    2. can i configure site B all clients to download liveupdate definitions from another server instead of site A server? Is it using policy?

    You have that option in Replication settings.The Content(Definitions) will also be replicated between these sites if you configure it.

    3. if i made any changes on sites B,will all the changes sync to Site A?

    Yes.Thats how replication works.You can schedule and what time you want both sites to replicat,Bydefault it is the first SEPM that decides when to replicate.

    Ports used for replication
    8443 (By Default ,Unless you have changed it)
