policy

Hi Dan
Phil's absolutely right. If you Branch Cache enable your DP and enable Branch
Cache on the clients then this will knock it on the head.
This works best where the advertisements that you have are required ones as the
content will always download in background priority (which abides by BITS
limits)

Use BranchCache + BITS policy and you should be good for just 2 machines.
Making a DP would be overkill IMO
Cheers

Subject: [mssms] Controlling content to a small site with a slow WAN link
We've got two sites with two computers each and these siBranchtes are connected
via slow, unreliable WAN links. I've got maintenance windows in place for the
clients and that's all well and good, but I'm constantly getting complaints
that bandwidth is being used by ConfigMgr. From what I can tell it appears to
be the clients downloading the content for SCEP updates and software updates we
deploy monthly.
Three ideas I've come up with so far:
1. Throw a desktop at each site running Windows Server and make it a DP,
then I can control when content is sent to this DP.
2. Make one of the existing desktops at each site a DP.
3. Use BranchCache
I'm leaning towards option two. I've never made a Windows 7 client a DP so I
have no idea how reliable it is or whether it's recommended. What would you do?
Daniel.
