Yeah, Delivery Optimization is a fairly new thing, so little info in the public domain. I have pushed for a clarification from MS marketing on this. We did a blog on it a while back, should update that with more info as we know more now.
The non-official version is that DO is for unstructured infrastructures with "well connected" Internet without other advanced MS infrastructure (read WSUS or ConfigMgr). For infrastructures with WSUS with limited Internet (going back to head office first) BranchCache the recommended approach. As far as we know, this is what DO is: · A peer-to-peer solution that is more torrent-like than BranchCache. · As it has a server component, only MS can "DO" stuff, not anyone else. · Only Windows Updates and native apps updates can use DO. · DO shares content with other people on the 'tinternet by default for home SKU's o Yes, this means it's using your BW for sending angry birds to your neighbor! o It will also stream the movie you watched on XBOX TV to your other neighbor. · DO doesn't work will with both WIFI and LAN connected at the same time The idiots guide: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/windows-update-delivery-optimization-faq So now to your questions, and these answers can be wrong; 1. Yes, if the machines are getting content from MS servers like Windows Updates 2. Yes, GPO's can control this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3088114 <- This pages doesn't load anymore so work might be in progress. a. There is a setting to set to share on same NAT and same Domain. 3. 3 it's an non-public protocol. But anyone with a sniffer can find out. :) 4. There are some event-logs for DO, but unsure. //A From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Miriyala, Vasu Sent: den 18 augusti 2015 17:54 To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Questions on Win10 WUDO Just in case if this is tried by experts out there or known to someone. I have below questions on Windows Updates Delivery Optimization, a feature in Windows 10 that allows to receive patches (other content like apps etc. also) from "PCs on my LAN" sort of peer-peer or branch-cache etc features. Ref: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/windows-update-delivery-optimization-faq 1) On a domain joined PC, does it still work to receive updates from PCs on LAN, if so how ? 2) Is this a Computer level settings or can be managed at domain/enterprise level ? 3) It has two options "PC on my LAN" or "PC on my LAN or PC on Internet", sounds clear that we need to choose first option in enterprises, however how does it work to find which clients have this enabled and then is the patches that my system needs are available on those systems. 4) Is this monitored or proved that its working in my scenario thru some logs etc. ? Unfortunately Windows Updates aren't any more providing live logs, as logs now has to be retrieved from ETL a newer mechanism thru PowerShell enabled command, so cant read much what happens when my Windows Updates fetch patches Thanks, Vasu
