I have read from several places (such as this blog post <http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2014/02/18/configuration-manager-distribution-points-and-windows-server-2012-data-deduplication.aspx> from February) the official statement that the server 2012 Data Dedup function is not supported for use with the configuration manager content source folder. However, when going through some settings today on my configmgr server, I noticed that I do have Dedup enabled on the drive that contains my source folder, and the folder is not excluded from dedup. I'm not sure when this got turned on, but it's likely been that way for several months at least. I don't recall having ever experienced issues that led me to suspect problems with the source folder.
Is anyone else using Dedup on their content source folder, successfully or otherwise? Is this just one of those situations where it works, but is not officially supported? Steve
