The more I think about this the more I think it makes no sense. IF you have a server for a region – Say east coast for example with 15000 systems spread across an area. You have the MP role and DP role – There is no way to have all the systems across many areas or wans use that MP but hit local DPS – Unless you remove the DP role now?
This upgrade seems like a step down. How do you get the functionality we used to get with protected dp’s? if I could do that and the systems preferred the protected dp – then I’d be golden.

This will likely mean all my regional boxes will end up also using it as a DP unfortunately Unless the clients somehow know to use the other boundary group DP they are assigned to because of the relationship pointing up to the secondary site server MP DP.

I’ve been told by our network folks that the clients are all going up to our primary MP UNLESS we add the proxy management point – secondary site – within the boundary group. We wanted to have systems in an area use DP’s in their local area first, and fall back to secondary site server DP for software AND go the secondary site server MP for policy vs going all the way to primary server. That doesn’t seem to be happening though. In order for us to have clients get policy and We currently have an Assignment Boundary group for our Secondary site that has all the boundaries within it but NO site System count on it. That has no relationships. We have the secondary site boundary group that has no subnets or boundaries assigned, and no relationships. Our MP has the DP role too. Then we have our regional local DPs with boundaries assigned and the local dps plus relationships to the above secondary site boundary group. I was hoping this setup would allow all our clients in those local boundary group to use the local DP for all the software and go to the secondary site server MP for policy and only use the DP on that MP for fallback. I figured maybe if we enabled preferrned management points but then we can’t specify oNLY use it for MP and not DP? DO we need to uninstall the DP role from our MP (not even sure you can do that)?
