As you suggest, the column incorrectly reports if Rate Limits are enabled
or not. It has been like this since 2012 RTM. It must be a bug.
Here is some quick PowerShell to determine if a DP has Rate Limits enabled
for those that may be interested:
$SiteCode = "Your Primarys Site Code"
$SiteServer = "FQDN of your Primary"
GWMI -Namespace "root\sms\site_$SiteCode" -ComputerName $SiteServer -Query
"select * from SMS_SCI_address" | Select
@{N="DistributionPoint";E={$($_.ItemName).Replace("|MS_LAN","")}},
UnlimitedRateforAll | Sort -Property DistributionPoint
False means Rate Limiting is enabled.
