I currently administer a single, on-premise, MP with ~60 local DPs spread globally. We have around 7500 devices and 4000 users. At present the MP, SQL and foundations all live in the UK, and this is causing a bit of grief for our APAC sites, when pulling down TS policies for OSD etc... We're needing/wanting to spin up a 16xx instance of SCCM anyway, but have been wondering if/how feasible a Cloud Based MP and feature rich site system server would be if based in Azure for example. The rough plan would be... MP (Azure VM, EMEA) DB (Azure SQL, EMEA) DP (Azure VM, 1 per region - EMEA, NASA & APAC) Source Server (Azure VM) We'd use the Azure Based DP's as "Push" DP's, to the 60 or so Local DPs we have globally. The theory being this would alleviate the stress on our a Single UK DP as the "pusher". Is SCCM ready for this kind of setup? Is Azure ready for this kind of setup? Does anyone else, do anything similar?

Hello, I am looking for some clarification on setting up the Cloud Management Gateway in SCCM. We have a primary site (managing about 6000 clients) and about 80 distribution points at small offices with 3mbps or less WAN speed. We are looking into managing remote machines that are not in the office and the Cloud Management Gateway looks pretty promising. The question I have is, do we need to set up another primary or just another DP (like the small office config) but with the MP, DP and SUP roles using HTTPS? Trying to avoid having to set up another primary and then adding a CAS if possible.

As title says I am having some issues with my Azure cloud distribution point. First some info about my Azure cloud setup: It is set up with 2 certificates with common name of my FQDN to my Windows Azure. Exported them to the sccm-site server. Configmgr group have read and enroll rights. 1 certificate (.cer) is without a key, uploaded to Windows Azure. Second key (.pfx) was used when setting up cloud dp in the SCCM console. It was set up successfully as far as i can tell and according to the cloudmgr.log on SCCM-server: Deployment instance status for service 75dcea72c6724f99a68bcda7 is StartingVM.~~
