Generate LiveUpdate Policies that have many GUP Subnets

I made a little tool that will create a new LU policy using a CSV or text file as the input.  The tool can use an existing LU policy as a template.  This will allow you to easily add new Explicit GUP settings or new Multiple GUP settings to an existing LU policy.

Here are the steps to use the tool:

1. Download and run tool below.
2. Create a text file (see below for details).
3. (optional) If you want to use an existing LU policy as a template then export the existing file from SEPM.
4. Run the CreateGUPpolicy.exe tool.
5. Type in the policy name.
6. Chose the type of GUP to add: Explicit or Multiple
7. Browse to the text file.
8. (optional) If you want to use an existing LU policy as a template then enable the template checkbox and browse to the policy file exported from SEPM.
9. Click the “Create Policy” button and the tool will create a new LU policy that can be imported into SEPM.

For Explicit GUP settings: The text file must contain two columns.  The first is for the client’s subnet and the second is for the GUP’s subnet.  See attached sample.

For Multiple GUP settings: The text file must contain one column containing the IP address of the client you want to be a GUP.  See attached sample.

The tool requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or higher.  This tool also requires the ‘Microsoft Visual J#® 2.0 Redistributable’.

You can download ‘Microsoft Visual J#® 2.0 Redistributable’ from here:
