RE: [mssms] Can a Task Sequence determine if the client is in a slow boundary?
Hm, that may get me to the same though. If you see a chance that a TS-step somehow could return that and if only as an error. But usually a TS is checked as a whole and if something isnt available it fails in general, so maybe it cant be done.

So looked into it a bit, and as far as I can tell the TS will never actually know if its on a slow or remote boundary. Instead its each package referenced by the sequence that will be considered fast or slow, and the TS advert/deployment info will determine the right run/download action. This is why you can start a TS but run into an error, since there is no content available for whatever package being referenced. All packages are checked at the start of the TS, and as far I can tell, there is no info whether that package is local or not outside the logs. But still think you can get the MP to tell you whether the client is in a fast or slow network boundary, but that doesnt really apply to the deployment settings as packages could still be local to that boundary. I might be wrong though, a bit confused after having 2 Pints for lunch.

RE: [mssms] Can a Task Sequence determine if the client is in a slow boundary?
Not for what I want to do. Simplified: A remote site is defined as slow, but allowed to run a OSD-TS. If that TS is started, it figures, hey youre on a slow connection, are you sure? Not really what I want to do, but basically the TS should behave differently based on that.

No, it was all tied to Nomad.
