PENDING More than one SCCM Management point server

[EnriqueCasillas]

Can you have a DP that is in remote location configured also as a MP to minimize all traffic to primary site server? I have 3 DP for 3 child domains. i want to harden / minimize traffic back to primary site network.

You are making it complex when you say you want another MP in a site just to minimize traffic. How much traffic do you see on the MP currently and are the clients set to talk to MP too often ?

It is NOT recommend to have your MP remote from SQL server. it will cause problems with inventory backlogs.

i dont mean to make it complex, and thank you for your prompt response , i didnt know how to best to word it. if i have US Domain as the forest domain, and NY , indiana, florida as child domains, they each have their own DP on site, but we still see clients reaching back to the US forest domain to our main SCCM server. the task at hand is to ensure that clients stay in their domain and do not attempt to reach the main SCCM server , we only want one point of communication to the management site that is their DP or if need to add the role to their DP and also a MP?

or do we have a boundaries Issue?

MP should NEVER be remote to SQL server. Can you do it, sure, will it work, for a time. Then you will see the inventory backlog on the MPs.

Yes it make sense that your DP be remote but MPs use almost not network traffic, sup use a bit more.

so we found there were some boundaries configured on our central office DP and the update packages were not distributed to all the DPs causing the client traffic back to our main DP...so far...

Creating a second MP will NOT solve this problem. Fix your boundaries to only use IP range and look at why packages are NOT deployed to all of your DPs.
