SCCM configuration for Branch office

Question

Hi Team,

I have a SCCM setup in my head office with SCCM 2012. and now I wanted to setup another SCCM setup for branch office and which should be in the relation with Head office sccm server. Im mainly using SCCM for patch updates. so my idea is the patches downloaded in head office sccm server should be replicated to branch office sccm server also. then the branch office sccm server is responsible to distribute patches to all the windows systems in the branch office.

can you guys suggest me how to setup configuration in this way.

Hi,

The answer may vary according to the actual environment. Commonly, if the branch office is large enough, we may upgrade the existing stand-alone primary site to CAS and setup primary site in the branch office. Otherwise, if the client computer is not so much, we can just add MP/DP/SUP role in the branch office. As you mentioned above, the patches is download from head office in either of the hierarchy. For the detailed design consideration, we may refer to below article:

Hope the above information helps.
