SCCM 2007 Secondary Site

[MAC456]

Hi Guys,

 

I am hoping someone on here can give me abit more info regarding the project I am about to undertake.

 

Basically We have a SCCM 2007 r2 primary site set up within our Main HQ's.

 

We have a office based in another country. Currently there is no process for automated builds for this office.

 

I have been task to go to this country and set up a secondary sccm server to link back to our main primary site.

 

In brief my current plans are to install a secondary child site and transfer all the settings from the primary site etc...

 

Would this work for what I want?

 

Thanks

Hello

What about using a Protected Distribution Point? Then the hierarchy wont crow and become more complex.

You can deploy the PDP from the Primary site.

Ok awesome,

So is this roughly what I would do to install the PDP site?

-Set up the new server overseas

-Install the PDP role onto the new server from the primary site

-distribute all files and settings from primary DP to the new PDP

-create a new boundary for the overseas office (slow or unreliable network)

-Point the new PDP Site to look at the new boundary

Does this sound right? please correct me if I am wrong

And can I pxe boot to this new PDP site? or would the request still need to go to the primary site?

(I would prefer the request to go to the new PDP site if possible due to latency, if it cant I dont think this would work for us)
