Take a look at the SMS 2003 Capacity Planner Tool.

The Microsoft® Systems Management Server 2003 Capacity Planner is a tool
that helps consultants, SMS administrators, and IT professionals perform
scenario analysis on their existing and proposed SMS 2003 hierarchy. The
Capacity Planner Tool User Guide describes how to use the Capacity Planner
tool. The Capacity Planner tool analyzes the input you provide and suggests
SMS site topology configurations and corresponding hardware configurations
for site servers and site systems.

Saving license cost should be an issue related to using secondary site,
since they are free.....
In your scenario I guess it possible to install a remote DP, but I would
recommend you to install secondary sites. That way you have more controll
over which DP the client uses (avoid clients at the HQ accessing a DP in a
remote location and vice versa) and you have control over the package
distribution by using senders with priorities and bandwidth trottling.

It's possible to install only a DP on those remote sites, but you will
have much more control over the WAN links by using a secondary site.

I've just installed a primary site server on one of my HQ servers (SMS
2003
SP2) and enabled DP, MP, SLP, CAP and RP roles on it. We have 15 other
plants
around the world, most of which are connected via MPLS (WAN links). Each
remote site has one or two Win2000 or 2003 servers running Exchange
server
2003, DC, File & Print services. The biggest remote site has 150 clients
and
the smallest 10 clients. I had assumed I'd need to put secondary sites at
the
remote sites but my boss swears that you can just put the distribution
point
role on a server with the pre-req's (BITS, IIS) installed with making it
a
secondary site server (thus saving licensing costs). I have scoured the
Concepts planning and deployment guide as well as the operations guide
and
neither have explained this in detail. Can anyone let me know what the
system
requirements are for the DP role and whether it needs to be a site server
(secondary specifically)
Thank you,
.
