Setting Up Distribution Point with Best Practices

Hi All,

 

We have a challenge on how we could setting up Distribution Points with Microsoft best practices in our environment. I would appreciate it if anyone can recommended the best way of implementing DP for below infrastructure

 

Infrastructure Set up:
We have around 10000 clients to manage by SCCM and having bandwidth of 1Mbps or 2Mbps between SCCM site server (Head Office) and branch officers. we have about 300 branches and I was wondering what is the best practice to implement DPs for our branch offices.

 

We are currently planning to implement as below:

  • Install 250 DPs with below settings for branches that are having 1Mbps network bandwidth. since there are 250+ DPs, we are planning to use Windows 11 devices.
    • Enable Branch Cache.
    • Enable throttling between 8am to 6pm to use only 10% of available bandwidth.
  • Other 50+ branches that are having 2Mbps bandwidth, we are planning to communicate with SCCM primary site directly.
  • Further we are planning to enable BITS and Branch cache in Client Settings. planning to limit 256Kbps in BITS settings.


However, I would appreciate any recommendations or any changes that I could do to implement our SCCM infrastructure in a better way.

 

Again highly appreciate if anyone can point out the recommended bandwidth between SCCM primary site and branch networks to deploy Patch updates and applications without an issue.


Thanks in advance
Dilan
