Thanks for this great article. 

I still have a doubt. In an environment where Delivery Optimization is integrated with ConfigMgr, if a supported W10 client without the ConfigMgr client installed, that belongs to a Boundary Group configured to use DO, will be able to download content from it peers (ConfigMgr managed)? 

 

The W10 client not ConfigMgr managed, will not receive SUP and DO policies from ConfigMgr, but it will have configured DO and Windows Update with default values.
It also will have contact with the Delivery Optimization Cloud Service, that is the requirement for this feature. I think that the response should be YES, the not managed client will consume the content from it peers (ConfigMgr managed). Is this correct?
Thanks in advance
