Delivery Optimization for Win 10 in Intune

I have created Win 10 update ring in Intune and applied that to all users. But due to that network is getting choked. So can anyone suggest what is recommended setting in delivery optimization that I need to deploy such that there will not be any network issue.

    Hey null null,

     

    this is heavily depending on you network environment. There is not a one recommendation fits all in this area. Typical enterprise environments have a WAN infrastructure and often they have centralized internet breakouts. This is a problem if the default DO config is used which is behind same NAT download mode. Meaning every client behind the same public IP address from the central internet breakout will be grouped to one DO group. That means WAN connections behind the central breakout will also be used as all clients are hidden behind your single public IP address.

    You could for example limit the grouping to subnets (restrict peer selection) or redefine the download mode to 2 (peering using same group id) and then use for example DHCP to provide DOGroupIDs via DHCP option 234. You can also limit the bandwidth on the clients directly with the DO config... and so on

     

     

     

    It all depends on you actual network infrastructure. And you have to measure how effective your settings are in the end. This also needs time as you often have to wait for the next patch day for example...

     

    For a good measurement introduction read Narkis blog post here:

    For the recommendations for Delivery Optimization read the MS docs article here:

    Finally you should setup Windows Analytics - Update Compliance to get DO reporting:
