Hi Experts,
I am currently designing a Current Branch implementation for a customer who continues to ask for a Microsoft best practice evidence/ documentation. From whatever I have gathered over my past years of experience, i have never really come across a single "best practice rulebook" as one size can never fit all. In any case, could you guys direct me to any such guide which has design decisions/ used cases documented? other than these https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/plan-design/configs/supported-configurations https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/plan-design/hierarchy/design-a-hierarchy-of-sites
Meanwhile, just to get an idea i am planning an implementation for ~ 7K clients and below is what I have proposed
- Single Primary at one of the Datacentre ( 8 Core, 48GB RAM)
- Management server holding client facing roles in another Datacentre (4 Core, 32GB RAM)
- Dedicated server for SQL (I was all for co-hosting the SQL on the same server as the primary but due to reasons more political in nature had to go with a dedicated SQL server) (4 Core, 16GB RAM)
- 2x Secondary sites at remote sites (4 Core, 16GB RAM)
- Distribution points (across various sites spread across the globe)
- No CAS ( Future expansion possible)
Let me know what you think, thanks in advance
