How can I locate Branch DP's?
Hello, in my previous company, I used some scripts to locate DP's. All DP's were located either on Primary or Secondary servers. I connected to: http://<SCCM_SLP>/sms_slp/slp.dll?mp&ad=<sADSiteName> and http://<SCCM_SLP>/sms_slp/slp.dll?mp&ad=<IPSubnet> and at least one of them would return me an array of local DP's. In my current company, I implemented SCCM as well but now I will be using branch DP's. If I connect to the SLP using a subnet of a branch DP, it returns me the primary SCCM server. Is there any way I can detect that a machine is in a subnet of a branch DP using the SLP? (or any other way) Thanks!!!

Querying that web address on the SLP doesn't return your DPs, it returns your MPs. If your previous company they just coincidentally also happened to be your DPs. Here's an older SMS blog post describing how to query the MP to get DPs: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rslaten/archive/2006/04/06/introduction-to-the-mp-api.aspx.Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys
