PENDING Distribution Point Groups content distribution

[harveybham]

Hi All

At the moment i have 1 distribution point. I will have a need to add another 10 soon.

I am currently adding my 2nd DP. My question is a simple one, how do i automatically tell SCCM to sync all the content from my existing DP to my additional DP?

Will "Pull DP" do what i am after?
On my Existing DP i did not distribute to a group but i did it direct to the DP. If i add a group now will it autosync?

Thanks

Create a distribution point group. Add the first DP to that group. When you add the 2nd DP to the group, all the content is distributed automatically. The same applies when you add 3rd, 4th... DP.

Thanks i will give that try, i have added the First and 2nd to the "members" group in the point group. What is the purpose of the "collections" group? do i need to do anything to this?

You can associate a collection with a DPG. When distributing content, you can target a collection associated with a DPG. This in turn targets all DPs in the DPG with the content.

Thanks Prajwal, One other question if i may..

I have created this Distribution point group and have added my newly built DP. Nothing has synced yet. Am i right in saying i need to distribute all the content to this newly group and then it will sync? at the moment the "Content" Tab is empty

Thanks
