Hi, sorry for the OT, but I got an issue and need some SMS help. If you know an SMS list which is as good as this one is for AD, please let me know.
I know there are some people on this list who are good with SMS, so I'll post an idea of my issue below. The answer may be simple, as I'm really a beginner in SMS - or may be impossible for all I know :-( We have a single SMS server serving clients on 4 sites, some of which are over slow links (yes, I know, not ideal) which they want to start deploying software from (it gets worse, doesn't it). The task I was given was that we use a preexisting replicated DFS structure to keep a copy of the install software, and expect AD site boundaries to ensure that clients pick up the files from the central location. I can't see any way in SMS to set up a remote distribution point (ie anywhere but the SMS box). Seems no matter what I try, the clients (all advanced) go back to the DP for the install files and not to the DFS (note, they use DFS strangely here, they use it as a single domain root replicating data between sites rather than using it to redirect users to shares on other servers) Is there any way to get a single SMS box to cause advanced clients to install an app from a fileshare local to them?
