We are going with SCCM 2007 on Server 2008.
Do you think we should setup a server at every remote site, or keep a server
just at our datacenter?
Like you stated, trying to figure out the routing situation will be a
challenge. Although we will probably find a way to focus it on certain sites,
We're in the middle of implementing SCCM07. So far it's been a bear.
We have several sites around the state, so deciding on how to implement the
sites, integrate with WSUS, and just getting the client to work has been a
challenge.
