Yeap, you’re correct. That’s why I can’t stand using it. Any large package can prevent anything really important to go anywhere…
IMO, the network team is the much better choice of controlling (all) traffic, SCCM isn’t really good at that and it shouldn’t need to do that in the first place -R From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Magnus Tveten Sent: Mittwoch, 3. Dezember 2014 22:57 To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] RE: Distribution Bottleneck Hmmmm I seem to remember one time being told that if a DP (well this was in SCCM2007, so a secondary site) rate limit was not ever at 100% it would only do one package at the time ? So if I’m correct (huge chance I’m not) then from 7 am to 6pm it woudl only do one pacakge at the time... And we had ours at max of 90% so we always only had one package being processed at a time.. _____ MAGNUS TVETEN SERVER SUPPORT ENGINEER CO CITRIX/SERVER Insurance Australia Group Limited Lvl 1, 23 Lakeside Drive, Burwood Burwood East VIC 3151 Australia T +61 3 8804 3226 M +61 411 010 460 E [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> www.iag.com.au <http://www.iag.com.au> PLEASE CONSIDER THE ENVIRONMENT BEFORE PRINTING THIS EMAIL. _____ From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gilmanov, Nile Sent: Thursday, 4 December 2014 2:12 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: Distribution Bottleneck ConfigMgr 2012 R2 CU2 I believe per: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Setup Version REG_SZ 7958 Full Version REG_SZ 5.00.7958.1000 UI Version REG_SZ 7958 Phase REG_DWORD 0x1c7 ReplicationPhase REG_DWORD 0x0 Estimated Number of Clients REG_DWORD 0x0 Server Platforms REG_DWORD 0x20 User REG_SZ Organization REG_SZ Type REG_DWORD 0x1 ReplicationMode REG_DWORD 0x0 Installation Directory REG_SZ e:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager UI Installation Directory REG_SZ e:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole Product ID REG_SZ NONEVAL Provider Location REG_SZ wnclafsccfg01.Wabashnational.lan InstalledSqlExpress REG_DWORD 0x0 External File Directory REG_SZ E:\UpgradetoR2\SetupDL Stop Setup Monitoring REG_DWORD 0x1 CULevel REG_DWORD 0x2 PrerequisiteDir REG_SZ E:\UpgradetoR2\SetupDL IMO irrelevant but since I was there here is my SENDER Properties: Max Concurr.
