If two different update agents on a PC are assigned in different ways:

1. To an administration group.
2. Based on a network location.

Which one will have a higher priority for the PC?

Among the update agents assigned to administration groups, the one assigned to the administration group, that is closest to the target host in the group hierarchy, has the higher priority. If the update agents are assigned to the same group, they have an equal priority.

The priority of update agents assigned based on the network location is equal to the priority of the nearest update agent in the group hierarchy.

If two update agents have the same priority, the one, the route to which is closer in the number of passed routers, is selected.

If two update agents have the same priority and the network distance to them is the same, the agent is selected randomly.
