Yes, with 500 machines you can create a single primary with SQL and have all the roles installed (AI, SW metering, HW,SW,DCM,App-V,CP) and the Server will never even bark at you. Just make sure you have enough RAM and you're all set. If you have branch offices with a few machines the just use a Secondary or Branch BP. I have several sites with 500 machines with everthing running up to R2 and no problems at all. Not even when every machine is receiving patches and that is running on a 3 year old server. Are all 500 machines in the same building/city? As for high availablilty it shouldn't go down but are you looking at something like cluster/Hyper-v/VMware (vmotion). Our 500 machine site is just backed up every night. A simple Restore is all that is needed to get it back up. http://www.sccm-tools.com http://sms-hints-tricks.blogspot.com

Yes, you could do this also, if the machine isn't powerful enough or doesn't have enough ram. This is supported.http://www.sccm-tools.com http://sms-hints-tricks.blogspot.com
