Hello All,

I am in the process of rolling out SCCM 2007 across the enterprise, and the push of the SCCM client seems to be eating
all the bandwidth in my T1 connection.

What are you guys using to monitor bandwidth usage ?

Cheers

A thought. Under SMS 2003 I found that you had to do an AD discovery on the secondaries. Otherwise client.msi would be copied over the WAN from the parent primary. It may well be the same under sccm - check ccmsetup.log to see

We actually use a custom solution that is provided by our network team to monitor the network utilization.

Ditto, the network guys are a lot better equipped to monitor the bandwidth usage on sites. I mean, sure you can use Perfmon to look at the network counters on your SMS/SCCM servers to see how many total bytes is going out the door, but you can't see any correlation to the sites.

When the client is pushed from a site it sends the client from the site that orginated the push. But if a ddr is created at a child site (primary or secondary) and the client push mechanism is enabled, the client would be installed from that site.

Irish Man:
Without knowing how your hierarchy is laid out, do you have a site (primary, secondary, DP or branch DP) configured on the other end of the T1?
