SUP on secondary site

[bulletlynn]

My primary site is up and running fine with SUP. My dilmema is we have another location that has about 300 pcs and when we deploy updates they are all pulling from my primary site. Network guys are not happy

 

I have not found much help on how to install/setup SUP on a secondary server.

 

If I install WSUS and add Software update point on the secondary site server will the clients download and install updates from that site? Or is there something else that needs to be done?

 

Thanks

Hello. Are you using it only for package deployment?

You can add a server and define it as aDP.No need to install WSUS on that.Afterward you can define boundaries for that server, so that when the computers request the package, since it is copied on that DP as well it will sent them locally.

 

Does that help?

Thanks for the quick response.

 

I am using it currently for package deployment but would like to have clients download and install windows updates from that secondary site.

 

I have boundaries correctly set for the secondary site. So you are saying it works the same as Software Deployment? In Deployment Packages i have already added the secondary site MI2 to the DP and they still download from the Primary MC1?

The Package Distribution works the for Software Update Packages as for normal Software Packages. So when your Boundaries are setup correctly the clients will download from the correct DP.

 

The client will only connect to the Software Update Point to check for compliance and sent status notifications.

You are correct I had my boundries set incorrectly.

 

Thanks for the help!
