Hi, I have been looking all over for better information on SCCM 2012 Hierarchy. I am working on building/ designing an SCCM 2012 Hierarchy for a client with multiple sites, but they have less than 1000 machines total. I have read through a number of posts and I have not come across any posts that break down the Hierarchy relationships between site servers (such as dependencies). I was contemplating having 1 primary site server and 2 management points, 2 distribution points with one external SQL database server. What are the pros and cons between having 1 site server vs. multiple site servers? The client has 4 different sites located in different states. They also plan on using all of the available functions with SCCM 2012. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. If this information has already been posted somewhere, please point me in that direction. Side note – Has anyone read (Mastering System Center 2012 – Configuration Manager) or any other configmgr 2012 books that they would recommend?
