Read the question Junior! He has Win 7 clients and as he says, this policy is only for W8 and beyond..
You’d have to come up with a way of detecting the 3g/4g/cable connection type, and then poke the local policy perhaps? ..I think there might be a new freebie tool in the making here ☺ Phil From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andreas Hammarskjöld Sent: 11 June 2015 16:34 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] Patching over 3G - BITS, etc Yeah, or you just set the BITS policy for costed network? Think that should still apply even if there is a VPN on top?

We happen to use Nomad; but of course evaluate both.

We have a bunch of people with laptops that connect to us via VPN, and sometimes they might be connecting over a 3G card, which doesn’t have the best bandwidth. We would like to be able to say if laptop is coming in over 3G then either don’t patch or just download patches slow (BITS throttle). If they are coming in over some higher bandwidth pipe (e.g. cable modem at home) then patch and download patches quicker. I don’t really see any way of doing this. I think it’s all or nothing we could setup the VPN subnet as slow connection, enable BITS throttling for these specific laptops but whatever we set for BITS, let’s say 100K from 8AM-6PM it would also limit people who are coming in over their fast cable modem, so now they would also download patches slowly. I know you can do some more tweaking in regards to cost with Win8.1, but we’re all Win 7 laptops. Have others come across this and if so, what did you guys do? Thanks Rob
