Using Multiple DP's for OS and Packages

[oliphanj]

Hello guys,

I have a Task Sequence that deploys a Win7 image that is about 6.0gb and about 10 packages that equals about 500mb's. I have all of these on 1 distribution point and the Site Server. Do you guys recommend that I keep the packages and image on the Site Server or just keep them on the DP?

How does SCCM regulate where do get the packages from? If one DP is maxed does it move over to the other DP?

 

Thanks,

Jason

I think it pretty much depends on how big your site is and how much traffic you have. Under 10GBs of data pulling from one server is pretty small for a lot of environments.
