"...no BDPs in 2012, just DPs which can be hosted on Win7/8." ...but much of the same issues/limitations that caused BDP issues in CM07 are still prevalent in the new "DP on a wksta" model I believe...

We have been using Riverbed for 3 years - synching a partition on the Riverbed to smspkx$ share on primary server and then pointing any calls for that share to the local partition. This worked ok but had no visibility into the 100+ Riverbed partitions and if replication failed clients would get package over WAN saturating our T1's. Now we are pulling out Riverbed and the network team proposed replacing them with NAS. Finally convinced them yesterday to skip NAS and allow use of client PCs as BDPs -not the best option but without servers I will take it - atleast we can monitor and report on BDPs.

A deployment share in MDT is something completely different and not remotely relevant.

That is what we're doing for 12,000 PCs The cheap way to go G On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 4:03 PM, Jason Sandys <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: ?? MDT doesn't use DPs?
