Our new SCCM system has three servers: SCCM1, site code: SC1, Roles: Root site, Site DB, MP, RP, SLP, SUP. No site boundaries specified. SCCM2, Site code: SC2, Role: Primary site, Site DB, MP, SUP, FSP, DP Three testing site boundaries: One for corp fast LAN, Other two for slow WAN. BITS policy on Computer Client Agent of SCCM2: Apply to BDP only, 256Kbps (for testing) DP for Corp fast LAN. BDP1 and BDP2 are protected BDPs for their remote stores over slow WAN. SCCM3, Site system and Standard DP in Site SC2 for remote stores in slow WAN. BITS allowed on on Intranet only. Protected boundaries defined for each store. My testing store has two Winodws XPs with SP3 on 100MB Ethernet in a testing OU without any BITS AD policy. Client1 is defined as a protected BDP. Client2 is in the same boundary as the client1. I am expending Client1 will download package from DP on SCCM3. Client2 should download package from its protected BDP client1. I created three testing packages and deploied as the following: Test#1: During create a package, I selected the DP on SCCM3 only. Both clients, one is BDP, got the package from SCCM3 based on CAS.log The package is saved in BDP folder on Client1. Why client2 did not download the package from BDP on Client1? Test#2: Selected DP and all three BDPs. result is same as above. DP on SCCM3 is the first available source. Why client2 did not download the package from BDP on Client1? Test#3: Select three BDPs only. Package status is "Pending Install", Why? Thanks, Steven

That issue is most likely caused by boundaries. How are the boundaries set up on each site? Which IP address and subnet masks have to clients got (if IP subnets are used for boundaries)? Please list all of them.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

We finally figured out: 1) Define BDP (IP) and its local subnet (IP range or subnet) for each remote office in Site boundary. 2) Add only BDP in protected DB (BITS enabled). This will make sure DP send package to BDPs only. 3) Add the local subnet in Protected BDP boundary. This will make sure that clients get package from it BDP only.
