First, why would this be any different for a local MP or a remote one? Next, the Windows Firewall by default allows all outbound traffic and is stateful so there's nothing that needs to be done anyone and this is completely moot. > "probably don't want that happening over the link" Why not? It's already happening over that link for the other 150 clients at that location. There is zero difference between policy download during OSD and policy download for a normal client. I would recommend doing nothing different unless you find that you actually have an issue. There is nothing special or unique about OSD as compared to a normal client with respect to MP communication so there's no reason to do anything special.

Sent: Monday, April 18, 2016 5:31 AM To: ms...@lists.myitforum.com Subject: [mssms] OSD over Slow Link Morning All, We are currently in the process of moving our OSD infrastructure from MDT to SCCM, and 99% of this is now complete. The remaining 1% is an off-site location in a different country, with a 10mbps (at best) link. We currently have a Distribution Point setup out there which has been working just fine for the measly 150 clients that are out there with application deployments\updates etc. However for OSD, I'm obviously aware of the need for a Management Point to communicate to, which I no doubt the clients will be unable to do due to firewall's etc in winpe, let alone we probably don't want that happening over the link. So, the question is, what would you recommend? Or, How do you currently do this? Is this grounds for a Secondary site? Also, domain join etc isn't a problem, all that infrastructure is setup.
