Usually you would use distributed cache, otherwise you may use a DP anyway.
To consider: - Every client in a subnet will download the content again, they don't share across subnets - It works best if there aren't many subnets at a location and of course a client only provides content if it downloaded itself and is still available to others - We use site GPOs to enable/disable branchcache on clients. If you can, look into that. - It will always prefer BC over a local DP, it is slower. - I'm not in favor of enabling it like for everyone on large sites, that's why it is not enabled when there is a local DP (using the GPO) - You might have issues with clients with small disks. Don't expect too much about. It is not a DP or Nomad or OneSite. Not even close. But for smaller sites: It is free. With 2012 it is supposed to be better, but with 2008: - the first client calculates the hash, the 2nd client downloads into the cache (the first doesn't!). The first finally could use the 2nd client (I've tested that to death). - With every reboot of the server the hash was gone and it started from scratch. Yeah, really. -Roland From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd Hemsell Sent: Dienstag, 24.

What would the affect be of turning it on at a small site then the laptop goes to a larger site? any idea?

Does anyone have a link to a good doc? /Todd This is so clients can share content on the same subnet.
