Hello all!! Hoping someone can give me a hand. I have completed a course on SCCM and now want to deploy it to our company just need some help with site setups. A little bit about our company. We are based out of Canada and have offices across Canada, with Calgary being our main data center. We have about 4700 clients across Canada. BC – 16 offices - 5 large offices AB – 20 offices - 7 large offices SK – 13 offices - 5 large offices MB – 13 offices - 3 large office ON – 14 offices - 6 large offices QB – 2 offices - 1 large office The large offices are anywhere from 40 to 150 people per office and the smaller sites have less than 30 per site with most of the small sites begin around 15-30 people. There is roughly two larger offices per province. Each office is on its own subnet with relatively fast connections between all offices. Some of the smaller offices (10-20 people) have slower connections. Also almost each site has a domain controller, file server, terminal server unless that office is a Citrix only site. What we plan to use SCCM for is, inventorying, endpoint, WSUS, and WDS. I need some help/recommendations with where to put a CAS(if needed - don't think I need one), primary sites, secondary sites and distributions points. This is my current plan a Primary site in Calgary and then secondary sites in 2-3 of the larger offices in each province and then the rest of the offices just pull over the wire from the secondary sites. What do you think of this? My other question is should I but SQL on a separate server and let our dedicated SQL administrator look after it, or install it on the same server vm as the SCCM install and I look after it. Also what should I give my servers for resources (1. If SCCM and SQL are together. And 2. If they are on separate VM's) I want to set this up correctly the first time. In the course we only did small scale (2 offices) so that is why I need some help.
