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
