have 25 remote location and one HQ sccm primary site. These sites have 10 mbps, 2mpbs and 512 kpbs wan connection. Should i use branch distribution point on remote sites, or install secondary sites in each location. I will deploy software packages,software updates,and centrally managed policies. OSD will not be used over wan. Which design fit this situation, bdp or secondary site?

Also each site has a client count between 130-500

That question cannot be answered without knowing the number of clients for each location.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

Hi, I normally vote for a secondary site. But as Torsten is saying it depends on a number of factors like number of clients, servers present at the remote locations etc. This article will help you answer the question - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693570.aspxKent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

Hi Torsten 7 site has 300-500 client 7 site has 120-170 client 7 site has 20-80 client 4 site 200-300 client

with those numbers, I would go for a seondary site.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

I third that... Secondary site anytime you have a server OS. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum/|

Because of Bandwith management right?

Yes and because of the number of clients there. And secondaries are more reliable IMHO.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

thanks Torsten. Is there any official recommendation about that? A document which explains why we must use secondary site instead of branch distribution point?

See the link Kent already provided. You don't have to use secondaries in your scenario - it's just a recommendation from Kent and me.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

7 site has 300-500 client "Secondary sites" + standard DP 7 site has 120-170 client "Secondary sites" + standard DP 7 site has 20-80 client "Protected BDPS be sure that you are using BDPs not standrad DP ' you can use Windows server as BDP this will be better as it will use Bits to download packages + the Concurrent connections is Unlimited to 10 like Windows xp or 20 Like Windows 7 " 4 site 200-300 client "Secondary sites" + standard DP i prefer if its possible to make the Primary site DBs mdf and ldf on another physicall drive for performance improvemnt as the Primary will be busy with all secondries , finally be sure about your boundires to avoid overlapping
