MRaybone Posted November 15, 2010 Report post Posted November 15, 2010 Hi guys, It would seem our enterprise is expanding and so there's a requirement for SCCM servers at several new branch offices. Now, the hierarchy I inherited some years ago and self-taught myself on has been pretty static for the past few years. I've never used Secondary sites before so am not quite sure when you should use them in place of a Primary. The new sites that are coming online would probably only house a few hundred clients, but they wouldn't be on very fast links. What are the other benefits of Secondary sites aside from not having to have a SQL/SCCM license? Or what are the drawbacks of not having a database at each physical site? Cheers, MRaybone.

Secondary is free and doesn't require expensive hardware due to no Database instance, it'll all be disk and network I/O, and only an OS license required. 2.Clients will use the Primary as their assigned site, but they will consider the Proxy Management Point(PMP) at the Secondary site as their resident MP, which means they will post and receive all their policies to\from the PMP and not to their Assigned MP. The MP and PMP are sync'd by the Primary, and this is then controlled by the Scheduling\Bandwidth control of the Sender from the Parent to the Secondary. 3. some of the Pro's and Con's of SCCM Sites Primary /secondary) configuration : http://eskonr.wordpr...ips-and-tricks/ 4.
