Andreas didn’t chime in yet :)
Basically on 2008 1. If there is no hash calculated yet (which is required), the first client triggers the calculation when downloading (into SCCM cache), doesn’t populate branchcache 2. The 2nd client downloads into the cache and sccm 3. The 3rd client can use the 2nd 4. The first will never have it unless it has to download again. You see? Worst of all. Once the server is rebooted, the hash is gone, start over… Whatever they were thinking then. 2012 doesn’t do that. Overall, it’s basically a no brainer once implemented and it will save (a lot of) bandwidth potentially. -R From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sean Pomeroy Sent: Donnerstag, 28.

This I've heard from colleagues and this list since I haven't tried it personally in production. The recommendation is to use 3rd party tools provider like 1e or adaptiva that have done intensive development on their tools.
