Problems with SEC and Update Managers

Hi all,

We have SEC installed on a server and Update Managers installed in our 10 sites. The update policies for the computers in each site are setup to goto the update manager for that site.

The problem we are having are the end points are still calling back to the SEC and overloading our network connection.

Do we need to install the message relay on each one of our 10 sites as well to stop the machines from connecting to the console but to use the relay?

  • Hi,

    Do you have patch installed on the clients?  Obviously if you don't then patch isn't the source of the traffic, if you do, this is the most likely candidate.

    The file mcescan.cab is downloaded by the agent whenever Microsoft updates the file, which might be every month?

    Using a relay for RMS will not cut down on the amount of traiffc just the number of direct connections.

    Regards,
