Configuration Manager - Secondary Sites

Secondary sites control content distribution for clients in remote locations that have limited network bandwidth.

Important considerations when deploying secondary sites:
  1. It is used to host site system roles to offload WAN link traffic.
  2. It can be installed from the Configuration Manager console and can communicate with clients but never have clients assigned to them.
  3. A management point and distribution point are automatically deployed during the site installation.
  4. It can distribute content to other secondary sites but cannot report to another secondary site

Considerations when installing a secondary site:

  1. When a local administrative user is not required in a location
  2. When there is need to manage the transfer of deployment content/Client data across low-bandwidth networks
  3. When there is need to establish tiered content routing for deep network topologies
