Secondary sites control content
distribution for clients in remote locations that have limited
network bandwidth.
Important considerations when
deploying secondary sites:
- It is used to host site system roles to offload WAN link traffic.
- It can be installed from the Configuration Manager console and can communicate with clients but never have clients assigned to them.
- A management point and distribution point are automatically deployed during the site installation.
- It can distribute content to other secondary sites but cannot report to another secondary site
Considerations when installing a
secondary site:
- When a local administrative user is not required in a location
- When there is need to manage the transfer of deployment content/Client data across low-bandwidth networks
- When there is need to establish tiered content routing for deep network topologies
