We are in the process of planning and testing patch deployment via SCCM. A high level overview of our infrastructure is as follows: Primary in EMEA (MP, SUP, ACWP, DP, RSP, AISP) Secondary in Americas (MP, SUP, DP) Secondary in APAC (MP, SUP, DP)
~17,000 Clients (35% EMEA, 40% Americas, 20% APAC) ~2,000 Servers (45% EMEA, 45% Americas, 10% APAC) At first we will only be patching clients. But servers will follow. Right now we are only testing patching on about ~500 PCs and all is going smoothly. Once we move all clients to patching via SCCM, I am concerned our Primary is going to be over loaded. I know MS documentation suggests SUP can handle 25,000 clients when it co-exists with another role... But our Primary essentially has all roles. Should I push to stand up a separate server as a SUP in each region? Or at least in place of the SUP on our primary? Thanks, Sean
