Hi All,
After reading various guides and technotes, I just cannot seem to get a clear answer on my question.
I am trying to look at the "Maximum time that clients try to download updates from a group update provider...". What I do not understand is the full impact of this setting and what is considered "trying to download updates".
A few scenarios I am looking at
- There is the obvious one of the GUP server being offline. With this setting, the client would try to reach the GUP and would failover to teh SEPM after 1 hour (assuming the setting is 1 hour). This is correct, right?
- If the GUP is still downloading the content from the SEPM server and it takes more than 1 hour, will the client keep waiting for the GUP server to be updated, or will it failover to the SEPM?
- If a client is waiting to get the update from the GUP, but the GUP is still updating other clients (limited by the Maximum simultaneous downloads) and it has waited for more than 1 hour, will it continue to wait or failover to the SEPM?
If there is a document that contains this type of information, please let me know and I will read up on it.
Thanks
Martin
