I have applied that update last month, but appear to only be having the issue 
at a remote DP, and not on my Primary server.

Here is an excerpt from Russ's article about Upgrading to R2 that talks about 
the issue in greater length.


<Uber Important Stuff!!!>

Be sure to read through the planning article and notes at 
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/gg682075.aspx to understand 
interoperability behaviors between ConfigMgr versions if you'll be running 
mixed versions.  Your ConfigMgr 2012 hierarchy must be running a minimum of 
2012 SP1 in order to upgrade to 2012 R2.

Then read the planning to upgrade to 2012 R2 article at 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/jj822981.aspx#BKMK_PlanningR2Upgrade.
  There is a nice R2 upgrade checklist there that you should follow prior to 
upgrade, which includes testing the upgrade process against a copy of your site 
database, disabling any database replicas, disabling 3 specific site 
maintenance tasks, etc.

Remember, uninstalling Service Packs or R2 is not supported, so make sure you 
don't rush through it and you've completed the recommended actions on the 
checklist!

Avoid a replication issue if you have a CAS and have used PullDPs: To avoid 
this issue, if you have downloaded the R2 bits prior to 11/26/2013, re-download 
the R2 bits.  More info on this one is available 
at:http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/11/26/replication-errors-in-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager.aspx

Post R2 hotfixes of importance:

Slow OSD WIM downloads issue or WDS Service failures when enabling a boot image 
for PXE enabled Distribution Point: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2905002.

This post R2 hotfix has the usual prompts allowing you to create update 
packages for the administrator console, client, and site server.  However, the 
administrator console .exe version does not change when installing this post R2 
hotfix.  Therefore, in order to detect if the adminconsole flavor of the hotfix 
is installed, you can query on the version # of CreateTsMediaAdm.dll or look 
for ConfigMgr2012AdminUI-R2-KB2905002-I386 in ARP.  This hotfix will update the 
client version to 5.00.7958.1101.

Computer variables defined for imported computers are not being picked up 
during Task Sequence execution:http://support.microsoft.com/KB/2907591.

This post R2 hotfix updates policypv.dll to 5.0.7958.1103 and is required on 
site servers and on servers where you have the SMS provider installed.

Hey,

 Check this out, there was an update for R2 related to OSD.

   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2905002

  This hot fix seems to fix the super slow OSD issue, which from what I 
remember reading is an issue with the way IIS is distributing content out to 
guest.  They talk at length about it in this thread, titled Insanely slow OS

With R2, did you also go to new boot images as part of MDT 2013?

If so, make sure you are not using the default network drivers.

Does anything other than the client .msp need to be run on the DP?

I have run that, and the task sequence component was upgraded.

Nope, I made sure to bounce everything.

Both the primary, and the remote DP.

Any thoughts? I need this server to re-image about 70 machines tomorrow, so I 
may need to open up a case with Microsoft.

Subject: [mssms] Slow OSD Performance Issues

Hey guys - Dealing with that issue of slow OSD performance after installing R2.

I am fine if I PXE boot image off of my Primary server. I see issues when using 
PXE booting off of a remote DP. We are seeing the very slow HTTP transfer when 
downloading the components of the TS, in particular the Toolkit package.

I installed the 2905002 patch on the Primary server, recreated my boot images. 
I also applied the client side patch on the DP, as the server patch said it was 
N/A.

Am I missing anything?
