secondary sites

Hi Everyone,

I have three sites divided by a wan link

I currently have one SCCM 2012r2SP1 primary site installed at location (A) with site code s01 , all clients from all sites report to this primary installation. From this primary site we also deploy images for only site (A.)

We need to deploy images at site (B) and site (c) and ideally would like the clients on these two other remote sites to get their updates from there aswell.

how do I achieve this.. Do I install servers at the remote site with something like this guide http://www.systemcenterdudes.com/sccm-2012-secondary-site-installation/

If I install two secondary sites

Q.1 will I be able to use the second site as a sup and DP  along with PXE boot to deploy images

Q.2 on the primary site I have task for deploying windows how do I get the remote sites to use that task , while pxe booting from the secondary site.

q.3 when I create a deploy task sequence at site (a) the operating system image is located on the primary site server, Can I create another task sequence ,store the image at the remote site, so when a user reimages a machine via a task sequence the operating system is located locally.

Q.4 if I was to add two more second sites do they have a gui or are they all managed by the primary site

Q.5 does the primary site need to be a central admin site ?

How many clients are at each location? You might also be able to use just a DP there. 
#1: yes
#2: make sure that clients will be able to find the PXE-enabled DP (using DHCP options or IPhelpers (preferred)) and setup/configure boundary/groups and that the task sequence is available for them (collection-wise)
#3: no need to create a separate TS. Just deploy the image to the secondary/DP at the remote location
#4: managed by primary
#5: no

Many Thanks Torsten,

In answer to your question the two remote sites have 400 users each
