  1. What you are suggesting is definitely where we'd like to be. However, right now, the remote site (Portland) has a 1.5MB WAN link and maybe 10 users at one time. The sole server is a pizza box and is the DC, DHCP, Print server, etc, etc... not wanting to add SCCM DP to that. Other than making a user's computer the DP, we'll need to add a server, but that will have to wait. Right now I have the Portland site no longer protected by any other site. Hopefully, this will allow them to download from the Main site. (BITS may prove to be an issue though and my experience there is limited.) Thanks
  2. Hi, I've got a question but first let me give a little background. We have SCCM 2007 in Native mode. There are five sites: One has the main SCCM server, three others are only set up as branch distribution points. The fifth site doesn't have a server and is in a slow/unreliable boundary. All sites except the fifth one receive updates and software packages fine. The fifth site, as stated, is in a boundary that is on a slow/unreliable connection. It is protected by one of the branch distribution points. After staring at this for a while now, I'm confusing myself so I'm posting this up here. My initial thought was that the fifth site needs to be protected by a server with BITS enabled, and the only one that is is the main server. However the main doesn't allow me to set up as a protected site. I'm thinking that I need to remove the fifth site from the protection of the branch and this will let the clients try to connect directly to the main. Albeit it will be extremely slow due to BITS. Am I wrong? or is there a better way? (BTW we only have one server at the fifth site and its over taxed as is... we will eventually put a BDP there as well)
  3. I have a question and was hoping that someone might be able to answer. I have set up a "Guinea Pig" collection that I am distributing Office 2007 to. There are five users that are members of this collection. Three of them have installed successfully. Of the two that failed, one shows as run time exceeded (even though Office does appear to have installed successfully) and the other looks like the user restarted when they shouldn't have. My question is, how do kick start a retry, or will it retry on its own? On the time exceeded, the program appears to have been successful from the user side, so I'm not sure that it will try to re-install. As for the user who restarted, I feel that sufficient time has passed that it should have retried. If I re-run the advertisement, will that cause everyone (including the successful installations) to re-install?

    Hello

    Hi all, My name is Dave and I'm new to the SCCM world. An instructor pointed me to this site and from what little I've seen, I'm pretty glad to be here. Hopefully, I be able to provide some answers as I know I can provide lots of questions
