Very true Paul. I forgot Kevin was asking about workstation DPs as well. You also don’t necessarily need to use server-class hardware. You can use a workstation-class desktop. That is something that we are looking at for some of our remote sites (50-200 clients). Take and HP z-series workstation, install Server 2016 on it and configure it as a DP.

You have a decent number of machines in each location so pulling content across the WAN for everything probably would not be the best way of utilizing that connection. If you are going to be doing OSD in those locations having a DP with the content locally is going to be your best bet. Otherwise trying to PXE boot across the Pacific Ocean, while sounding cool, probably would be a painful experience.
