SCCM Client Cache not correct - 250MB!

Hello, I have just noticed  that a test software deployment was not installing. After checking the logs it turns out the Client Cache was only 250 MB (and the Cache Folder was incorrect C:\CCM\Cache). The correct settings (from the Client Push Installion Properties is 10240, and a client points to C:\Windows\CCMcache).

Any reason why this is? I dont know how widespread this may be and could be affecting this and other deployments.

SCCM 2012 R2/Windows 7 SP1 32 bit

Thanks

It's an easy fix. You can send out a package/application to change the cache size here is a vbscript that will change it to 20 GB, just change the value.

On Error Resume Next

Dim UIResManager 
Dim Cache 
Dim CacheSize

CacheSize=20000

Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")

Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()

Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize

A better way could be a configuration item: here is an example:

Those settings are not used when the client is deployed during OSD. See the 'setup windows and configmgr' step then.

You can also easily inventory this value with HW inv (since it's in WMI at root\ccm\softmgmtagent).
