Hello all newbie here so be kind As most of us here I have been tasked with creating a SCCM 2012 Hierarchy from scratch with almost no formal training. Is there a guide for Best Practices when it comes to hierarchy. A little overview of my Companies configuration. We have a coprporate office in Massachusetts This is where I plan to install the Central Management and Primary site We have two remote offices in Wisconsin connected over an MPLS network I need to support OS PXE install as well as Software Distribution and Updates in each of these 2 sites Do I install Secondary sites here or just DPs? We have a site in Austria connected over an MPLS network I need to support OS PXE install as well as Software Distribution and Updates in this site Do I install Secondary sites here or just DPs? We have 2 Sites in China Primary in Suzhou small sales office in Beijing I need to support OS PXE install as well as Software Distribution and Updates in this site Do I install Secondary sites here or just DPs? Also I plan to put the CM database and the Primary database on the same DB server. Can I put the DBs in the same named instance or should I create a seperate named instance for CM and Primary? Also do the remote sites require a full SQL server? Looking for any recommendations for my topology. Thanks again
