I'm using Configuration Manager 2103.
Due to auto-deployment rules, we regularly download updates from Microsoft Update.

At that time, if you download a large update program,
There is concern about the load on the corporate network.

The setting to limit the bandwidth of inbound communication of download is

    There's no way to throttle this in ConfigMgr.

    Assuming you could though, what would your threshold be here?

    Also, to be clear, you are simply referring to the initial update file download from Microsoft by the site itself, correct?

    Currently, there is no threshold.
    We will consult with you in consideration of the situation of the customer's internal network.

    Yes, as you know, it's right.

    So, if you don't have a threshold, why is there a concern? Each month will certainly vary, but it's not like it's 100's of GB in a short time span. Aren't they already downloading the updates using whatever tool they currently deploy updates with?
