We've got two sites with two computers each and these sites are connected via 
slow, unreliable WAN links. I've got maintenance windows in place for the 
clients and that's all well and good, but I'm constantly getting complaints 
that bandwidth is being used by ConfigMgr. From what I can tell it appears to 
be the clients downloading the content for SCEP updates and software updates we 
deploy monthly.

Three ideas I've come up with so far:

1.       Throw a desktop at each site running Windows Server and make it a DP, 
then I can control when content is sent to this DP.

2.       Make one of the existing desktops at each site a DP.

3.       Use BranchCache

I'm leaning towards option two. I've never made a Windows 7 client a DP so I 
have no idea how reliable it is or whether it's recommended. What would you do?

Daniel.
