Advise for multiple sites

[benwho]

Heres the story,

 

We are a company that has factories and sales offices all over the world. Our head office is based in The Netherlands, all factories and sales offices from China to the United States are connected to this place. All systems are in one domain and each site has a server and has between 5 and 100 systems.

 

Currently all our systems in the head office have an SCCM client. I haven't deployed any to our other sites.

 

My question is what would you suggest doing for the other sites (the search button doesn't really make me any wiser atm).

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ben.

Yeah so we have similar business lines though we are in the Managed Services arena.

 

You NEED to do some due diligence first to see what your really need at each of the sites. I suggest you sit down and list up your sites in excel and see what services you need at the sites.

 

we have a central site for reporting only..... then in each country a Primary Site take the workload and sends reporting status' back home to HQ. then in each site with +100 desktops we have a primary server and for sites with +40 desktops we have a secondary. >40 we assign a branch DP

 

that'll get you started..... this is our basic design for most of our customers and seems to work well.....

<40 we assign a branch DP

While we're at it,

 

Is there anyway to change the port 80 which the secondary site uses? (Some of our secondary sites have their own IIS webpage running on port 80).

 

Thanks in advance .

That's not possible....

 

Secondary Sites inherit the ports settings from the Primary Site. Take a look here for more information: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680376.aspx
