If I’m not mistaken we are running our entire SCCM infrastructure on virtual machines (VMWare). We’re currently at about 30,000 workstations. When I get into the office I’ll take a look at what we have setup so I have more than “If I’m not mistaken…” for you.

I am currently managing approximately 18,000 machines in our current environment with a physical site server that has 24 cores and 32 GB of RAM(runs fine). We are getting ready to build a new site after SCCM Vnext comes out with the official production release. Currently we have our VM site server spec’d out at 8 Cores with 32 GB of RAM and all the necessary storage for sql etc. We are also planning to have a additional MP as well. We have fast storage in our data center so that’s not an issue. We are also worried about growth; and we close to the max our server team can give us as far as server cores and ram. This was the recommended hardware recommendations updated today per Microsoft https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt589500.aspx. I am expecting that if we go with this VM setup that is should accommodate growth up to at least 40,000 clients? Is there a secret formula to figure this out? Is Physical the preferred method? If anyone can please share their VM specs in a large SCCM environment they are running that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance!
