kickehy Posted August 19, 2013 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 I apologize if the scope of this question gets too big, but I have a question about setting up a Distribution Point, after I've already setup a standalone primary site. From what I have been reading online, it's not hard to create a hierarchy after the fact, but I do have a few questions on how to properly setup SCCM for storage. I learned the hard way that SCCM downloads the files directly to the server (if it's a distribution point) rather than just running the files from a network share. After reading online, I understand this a little better based on having a wide geographic location within a SCCM hierarchy, but it's now caused a problem with storage space on my server. If my second server will just be a distribution point, do I still need to expand the hierarchy (since it's currently a standalone primary)? Is there a proper way to setup the partitions on the server? For example, C drive only 40 GB and E drive as 1 TB. Will SCCM then use the E drive for storage when you enable the distribution point role? If there are other partitions, do you need to create the NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS files in the root of each partition?

Thanks for the help! Brad Meyer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
