We want to manage the clients from a remote site, should I add a DP in the remote site or create a secondary site? What is the best practice? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Hi, @CoolSK2

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Like Garth mentioned, if you have slow WAN links that have over 1000 end points in a distant site, it might be worth considering adding a secondary site. Otherwise, you would be better just adding a Distribution Point.
