Hello,
Hoping someone can help me out with this.
I have set up a site. Within this site I have set up groups based on Gegraphic location (Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle,Etc.).
My Olympia computers connect to the SEPM for Live Updates. All other groups connect to a GUP in their own office. So Tacoma PC's connect to a GUP definded for the Tacoma group. Seattle PC's connect to a GUP configured for Seattle, and Olympia PC's connect to the SEPM (Which is also defined as a GUP). This all appears to be working fine. However I have 2 questions about how to refine this:
1) How can I make it so that a computer which is a member of the Olympia group will automatically assign itself to the Tacoma group if it is connected in Tacoma? I have an issue where some of our Olympia users bring their laptops to Tacoma. When they do they pick up an address on the Tacoma subnet, but still pull their updates from the SEPM in Olympia. We do have quite a few users who travel around and can be in Olympia one day, Tacoma the next, and Seattle the day after. I'd like it if the laptops in question would just download their definitions from the GUP local to their current location.
2) How can I configure laptops, which may not connect to our network for weeks at a time, to get their updates directly from Symantec when off our network and from a GUP when they are connected to our network?
I usually don't like asking two questions in one post, but these seem to me to be pretty closely related and I'm hoping what I learn about how to fix one issue will lead me to a fix for the other.
Thanks in advance,
John
