hi, We have 14K users, ~50 offices and low bandwidth. would like to move away from SCCM ADR and Full File windows update packages and maybe move to WUfB with content cache on those DPs. concerned about disk space requirements and maybe testing this with a single site. are there any guides/docs on setting up a test plan for trying this out? any gotchas or other lessons learned docs that would help?

MicrosoftHi Mike, there are a couple of doc resources to get started:
- https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/do/mcc-enterprise-prerequisites - using MCC standalone, that article has some more information about size requirements (note the standalone use is currently preview)
- https://learn.microsoft.com/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/hierarchy/microsoft-connected-cache - GA feature integrated with ConfigMgr. There are some settings you can use to control which disk the cache uses. And when the cache fills, ARR clears space by removing content based on its built-in heuristics.
We don't have any other content on testing or lessons learned or such, but I can share this feedback with the PMs.
Also, look at delivery optimization as a way to help this scenario. Although I'll suggest you wait to check out that documentation until after about 1030 Pacific time, there's an update to the DO content that should publish around then. 😉 https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/do/waas-delivery-optimization
