***Updated from previous post***
Does anyone know if there is an effective way to change the download cache size that SCCM uses when installing software on clients? I found links for some tools but the pages do not show. My clients all are set at the minimum 250MB imit....and when trying to install an updated office suite version it says it is too small and require about 1500MB to install. This was never a problem when we were using SMS2003R2, but has now surfaced since we migrated to SCCM. We may be a small shop with only 350 users, but we are spread out over 6 city blocks and I am really trying to avoid going to each individual computer to change this setting.

Right from the SDK (and was the same for SMS 2003). This is just a script that yoiu would advertise to a collection of clients you wish to change the cache size on. (note the comments ' . Can just remove them to test running it locally first).
(I know, its not the Right-click console extension you were looking for, but..)

'start of vbscript
On Error Resume Next
Dim oUIResManager
Dim oCache
Dim CacheSize

CacheSize=1500 ' Change to whatever you wish (MEGs)

Set oUIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
If oUIResManager Is Nothing Then
'    wscript.echo "Could not create Resource Manager - quitting"
   wscript.quit
End If

Set oCache=oUIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
If oCache Is Nothing Then
   Set oUIResManager=Nothing
'    wscript.echo "Could not get cache info - quitting"
   wscript.quit
End If

oCache.TotalSize=CacheSize
'Msgbox("SMS Cache increased to 1GB")

In the test...that looks like it did it.....I reset the cache and checked it...set to the amount I wanted.....and then kicked off a test install of office to the test machine and it is taking it now....thanks for the help....I will add the cache cleaner to run before office is deployed each time now.....
