Hi all;I'm trying to run down the number of clients that can be supported by a single Distribution Point. I thought it was something like 2500, but can't find the docs that say so. TIA

There isn't a hard and fast rule for this because it can depend on a number of factors. Ask 5000 machines to hit a DP all at the exact same second and it will fail. We used a randomizer for a long time to spread the load and get up to 40K clients on a DP.

In case you guys didn't notice that because of the coloring scheme, there's a hyperlink there for the randomizer
