1.       Does what exactly?

Don’t get the relation with the wim file. Is that the PE wim?

The cache is stored in inetpub?

 

 

I think I should be ok with the secret. It’s the first time the TS runs, as
boot  media, where I would inject the content.

There is nothing then.

Once it is in the prestaged media t should use the already existing content
(from CM)

If you export packages from the server you don’t have to set the same server
secret, 

 

http://2pintsoftware.com/2psfaqs/branchcache-caching-faq/

 

On The Server

1. Stage the Content
Publish-BCWebContent -Path c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyBigWIMFile.WIM -StageData
-StagingPath c:\temp

2. Export the content to a package (creates a handy .zip file) 

Export-BCCachePackage -StagingPath c:\temp -Destination c:\MyBCPackage

On The Client

1.Import the Package Created in Step 2 Above

Import-BCCachePackage -Path C:\temp\pkg\PeerDistPackage.zip

 

If you’re talking about just taking a bunch of content that is already local
then you have the set the same server-secret..

Yeah, doable, but a little tricky!

 

Another cache can be injected as is or by using the PowerShell cmdlets.
Extract the info from the server using the powershell cmdlets allows of
course to select packages but is a little time consuming to inject into the
cache. It’s a bit vague and undocumented, so asked the devs to clarify this
a little, in our testing we had to set the servers secret key to match the
client before importing content or it wouldn’t be used. Unsure if it’s a bug
or “by design”.

 

One of the steps in the upcoming version searches the local HD’s for an old
cache to inject before starting up BC.

 

So what exactly did you have in mind? A build DVD like the secret MS
“hybrid” media approach, build over the wire but with local content?

Something for Andreas and Phil

 

Assuming I use your branchcache for PE, which I guess is a pre-req for what
I want to do anyway, is there a way to prepopulate the branchcache cache so
that PE can use it?

Like the toolkit package or the  boot image if it needs to be downloaded.

 

Also assuming I have a local source available with that content.

 

That assumes :) I can get my hands on the content, extract it somehow.

 

Ypu get the idea?
