Hello guys

I need help in design in (AD) and SCCM 2012

my topology is :

central site (HQ) and 16 branches

each branch have 15 users and connected via IP-VPN to central
I cannot make additional domain or even RODC in the branches ,
I just organized them by create OU for each branch

My Question : what's the best practice to organize and manage those branches (in domain controller and in sccm)

thank you all

@Wagdy Maher Abdulhameed - If there are just 15 users in every branch then you do not need additional domain / RODC. As you have a VPN tunnel from each branch to HQ i think that is fine (I cannot talk more about the networking part here though). Coming to deploying SCCM and managing these branches via SCCM, you need to deploy a Primary site and site server shall be located in HQ. You could choose to setup another server at HQ and install DP role. Now since you have 16 branches I don't think you would need 16 DP's. You could setup DP's for the important locations and nearby regions could use the nearest DP's for getting the content. You could also make use of pull distribution points that can help reduce the processing load on the site server and can help to speed the transfer of the content to each distribution point.
