We are pretty new to LANDESK and are trying to get our clients caught up on patching client and we've run across the following behavior.
- We create a patch group with say 100 patches in them based off of detected patches
- We then create a repair task from that group (right-click -> repair)
- To the repair group we add systems based on a scope to the task and release it as a policy supported push
What appears to happen is that one of the PCs in each subnet at the various sites will download from the core all the files in that update group (say 2gb). For some sites this amount of download traffic is not a problem as there are only 1-2 subnets in the site and they have decent bandwidth, but some other sites were there are larger number of subnets and slower connectivity this is an issue.
I have two questions..
Should the multicast reprenstative only download the 20-30 files that are actually be needed by clients on the subnet?
IF downloading all the files for the group is the expected behavior is there a way to stop that other than disable multicast in the distribution and patch settings?
