Hi .. During software distribution and patch pushing 95% of our network bandwidth is used , Please let me know how to restrict the lan usage limit of sccm .

Hello- If you are talking about bandwidth between site system and the clients then go through http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb633140.aspx If you are talking about the bandwidth between secondary sites and primary server http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2010/07/16/understanding-site-to-site-communication-in-sms-sccm.aspxAnoop C Nair

The only way you can limit the bandwitdh is having multple sites and control the bandwidth on the addresses that are used to connect the sites.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

Some 3rd layer switches can help you to control the bandwitdh for protocols.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

As an alternative to hardware as Arthur mentioned, you could look into a 3rd party software solution. Both 1e.com and adaptiva.com (Nomad and OneSite, repspectively) offer alternate content provider software, to have your clients get content from DPs in a more bandwidth friendly manner. Standardize. Simplify. Automate.
