Comunication between SCCM Server and Clients

We have SCCM 2007 R3, Mode Mixed. I installed in this server Microsoft Network Monitor I was verifying that There are many Frame between Computers to SCCM Server or SCCM Server to Computers.

 

The last week we deploy windows updates (nov 2011) in this computers (windows 7).This week many users complaint about bandwith it´s very slowly.

 

I was modifying Computer Client Agent

 

General Tab

 

1.- Policy polling Interval (minutes) >> 300.

2.- State message reporting cycle (minutes): 120

 

 

Bits Tab

 

1.- Apply to branch distribution points and all clients

2.- Throttling Windows start time >> 9

3.- Throttling Windows end time >> 19

4.- Maximun transfer rate >> 20

 

 

Thanks and regards.

How can I avoid that SCCM consume bandwith a lot?

 

Thanks a lot Trevor.

I think you've already achieved that by configuring the settings that you put in place earlier. If that didn't help enough, you can either restrict it further, or look into a 3rd party product like Adaptiva OneSite. OneSite gives you a significant advantage over native ConfigMgr functionality, to help control bandwidth, although it's not necessary in all situations either.

 

If you want to e-mail me (pcgeek86@gmail.com), I can put you in touch with someone that has more information. It's a paid product, but it might be what you're looking for.

Hi Trevor

 

Thanks for your help

 

Do you believe that configure this parameters could be give me problems in future?

 

General Tab

 

1.- Policy polling Interval (minutes) >> 300.

2.- State message reporting cycle (minutes): 120

Do you know a good Sniffer (free) for Windows? I was using Microsoft Network Monitor ?

 

I look for that parameters in SCCM, That I must configure for throttling Bandwith in SCCM when It comunicates with the client computers. Do you know any other parameters ?

 

Features SCCM Server (all in the same server)

 

1.- Windows 2008 R2

2.- SCCM R3

3.- WSUS

Thanks a lot Trevor.

Hi Stuart,

 

It's hard to say if those settings will cause problems in the future — there are too many variables to make that determination. Another good, free packet sniffer is Wireshark, which you can obtain here:

Network Monitor 3.1 is great though.
