Things to ponder... as you may or may not be aware, having a CAS and primary sites is and never was meant for doing geographical separations. It almost sounds like (with only 10k clients) that each currently separate company "believes" that having two primary sites means something technically. It doesn't. Microsoft's recommendation is that if you were to have more than 1 Primary (and therefore a CAS), those servers would be right next to each other, preferably within the same subnet--because of the replication traffic. They need to be network-wise super close. Make sure you point that out to them in your presentation. That having multiple primaries and CAS does not in ANY POSSIBLE WAY make it "more secure" or "better" or even separated from a rights points of view. If you have less than 10k clients, I know you have to "show them"--but really stress how stupid it would be to have multiple primaries and a CAS.
Another thing to ponder... I'm completely confused as to why you would "Start with" going to ConfigMgr 2012. I'm at a loss to understand why you wouldn't go right to Current Branch? You have to migrate clients anyway... On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 8:01 AM, Daniel Ratliff <[email protected]> wrote: > CAS, 3 Primaries, 72k clients.
