Re: 400 remote sites connected via DSL

Steve,
Thanks for your response. I still don't know why I shouldn't setup 400
distribution points.

You said: " I would not go that route, I believe that it will become very
difficult to manage..."

How else can I control without purchasing something like the SMSNomad Branch
software. I was quoted 7.50 a license in packs of 500 licenses and I'm
looking to do this for free, so I can't purchase a solution.

I was able to setup an XP pro machine as an SMS "server share" site system
with the protected distribution point role. I think I'm all set now, but
your comment made me cast some doubt if I'm missing something here.

How else could I setup 400+ branch offices with no servers, only xp machines
connected to slow links?

SMS 2003 SP2

400+ remote locations connected via DSL lines of which the majority are
only
144Kbs.

5 clients (at most) in each site.

I am planning on deploying ITMU to all clients by setting up one client at
each remote site (roaming boundary) as a software distribution point
(server
share).

The control of bandwidth throttling is only available for secondary sites.
I do not think it would be a good idea to set over 400 secondary sites up
just for this feature.

2 questions.

1. Is setting up over 400 Server Shares a good idea.
2. If setting up that many server shares is okay, how can I throttle the
bandwidth.

Hi Nick,

Just replied to your other post in this group 'microsoft.public.sms.swdist'

I would not go that route, I believe that it will become very difficult to
manage...

Steve
