What is your primary running? OS and SCCM version? I tried to do the same recently. My primary is 2008 R2 and I wanted to spin up SUP on a 2012 R2 server… WSUS isn’t acting right.. I am missing some patch possibly.
In theory both will work and sync per primary’s settings for WSUS, the remaining piece is what clients will talk to what WSUS box. By the way, best practices recommend a shared WSUS database for multiple SUPs per https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh692394.aspx Nile Gilmanov Systems Administrator Wabash National Corporation [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | O: 765.772.2691 | M: 765.414.7402 | F: 765.449.5381 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeremy Sihassen Sent: Thursday, July 2, 2015 1:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] [sccm 2012] multiple sup for a primary Thanks for the answers so far. On the main topic the question was about software update point and not management point I mistyped while talking about MPs to a collegue. Anyway, I agree with you. 5k machine in a subnet will be a pain in the ass to manage regarding networking but that's a condition that I can't bypass unfortunately. And that's not my job to tweak that part so I'll let them do the job as good as they can.

Not really any reasons to have it like we did before with a /24 mask, the fancy switch HW got it all sorted. The only reason left is the fault tolerance, like a piece of kit going haywire… So a 5000 subnet is not unreal, it’s just not good if the network goes bananas from bad HW/SW. Think about a 1000 nodes are common these days on campus like networks. //A From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Miller, Todd Sent: den 2 juli 2015 18:35 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] [sccm 2012] multiple sup for a primary Do you think it is possible to have a working subnet that has 5000 clients? I would think the broadcast traffic alone from 5K clients would chew up a large percent of the network bandwidth. That’s not an SCCM problem, but on the other hand you are spending time engineering the SCCM stuff to handle a network topology that I don’t think will work. I am not a network engineer, so honestly I don’t know what I am talking about. But it sounds unfeasible to me.

For SUPs... you could still use this: http://www.smsmarshall.com/Pages/LocationAware.aspx which was written before the update for CM12 which allowed for the MP preference to be set.

The goal would be to avoid clients to connect to a random SUP and avoid loading the network link between a subnet and the Datacenter. Is it possible to force a client to connect to a specific management point? A secondary server would be the easiest option but I dislike this option and we'll probably get more than 5k client on this subnet by the end of the year which would imply getting another secondary server.
