Agenda Infrastructure Deployment in Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Resources

System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Empower Users Empower people to be more productive from almost anywhere on almost any device. Unify Infrastructure Reduce costs by unifying IT management infrastructure. Simplify Administration Improve IT effectiveness and efficiency.

Infrastructure Promises Modernizing Architecture Minimizing infrastructure for remote offices Improvements to Distribution Points Consolidating infrastructure for primary sites Role-Based Administration and Logical Data Segmentation Language Neutral Support at Primaries Collection-based Client Agent Settings Scalability and Data Latency Improvements SQL Replication

Infrastructure Decisions – When Do I Need the Following: Central Administration Site Primary Sites Secondary Sites Distribution Points

Central Administration Site Unify Central Administration Site Centralized Reporting and Administration, simplifies management More than 100K clients in hierarchy. So essentially you need a central to add multiple primaries and to scale out beyond 100K clients Any other time you might need more than one primary site in hierarchy Central Administration Site Primary Site Primary Site Secondary Site Secondary Site Distribution Point

Central Administration Site Primary Sites Unify Primary Sites Manage Clients - Clients never report directly to a CAS Scale (100K clients per primary) Reduce impact of primary site failure Political Reasons Content Regulation Local point of administrative connectivity You don’t need a Primary Site for: Decentralized administration Logical data segmentation Client settings Language Content routing for deep hierarchies Central Administration Site Primary Site Primary Site Secondary Site Secondary Site Distribution Point

Central Administration Site Secondary Sites Unify Secondary Sites No local administrator for secondary Manage upward flow of WAN traffic Tiered content routing for deep network topologies Central Administration Site Primary Site Primary Site Secondary Site Secondary Site Distribution Point

Central Administration Site Distribution Points Unify Distribution Points BITS not enough control for WAN traffic Throttling & Scheduling BracheCache is not available PXE & Multicast for Operating System Deployment App-V Streaming Central Administration Site Primary Site Primary Site Secondary Site Secondary Site Distribution Point

Content Management in R2 System Center Marketing 8/27/2019 Content Management in R2 In-console monitoring improved to make is easier to track the status of content distribution Optimized content download for superseded apps so only changes across versions are brought down The sources for a pull DP can be randomized to achieve load balancing and flexibility. Pull DP in-console monitoring on par with standard DP. Enable pull distribution point to send state messages via MP. Pull DP improvements Reduced the amount of interaction between remote DPs and the Distribution Manager. Optimized content distribution by adding distribution point priority and keeping send requests in SQL. New report: Distribution Point Usage – shows how much a particular DP gets used.
