I ask as I have 3 images which are used in production. Also several autodesk products two of which take 30GB each! IS the built in deduplication in sccm 2012 r2 able to dedup blocks for wim files and two packages with many similar files?
Thanks.

I left a number of packages, circa 30GB worth, distributing over night, all were still in progress this morning. I flicked de-dup off and they started to complete. Maybe the lesson here is to be less agressive with the de-dup settings, I had it set to 0 days to de-dup everything. I'll reinstate later with 5-10 days” make you question whether you would recommend it to a client?

I thought that my comment was pretty explicit that I was referring to DPs only. As for supportability I am pretty sure that there would not have been a test plan to test the interaction - ergo there would be no support for it. As far as I know, and having asked the question directly before this should not work although not tested it myself.

CM12: file based only, the exact same file twice is stored once only but for the library only. Server2012: Content based and for the whole volume, also works e.g. with VHDs. Use Dedup for example on the source folder of the packages… I use it also for the content library, it squeezes even more out of it. -R From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Wallace Sent: Montag, 20.
