Hi, is there a way to force a specific MP during winpe/OSD?

We have MPs in 3 different regions for which we have set boundary group accordingly, but everytime we boot in OSD, it always ignore those preferences and just takes the 1st one one the list in alphabetical order which generates latencies in the deployments.

Thank you in advance and don't hesitate if you have any questions

    Hi @Stéphane Lalancette ,

    ==>is there a way to force a specific MP during winpe/OSD?

    TS PXE clients always use the MP that the PXE server uses. This is done to ensure that the PXE server and PXE client are consistent in what they try to do. Please change below registry key on the DP site system to specify the MP to have a try:

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP
    REG_SZ - ManagementPoints

    For more information, please refer to this similar thread:

    Hope it helps. Thanks for your time.

    Best regards,
    Simon
