To help you determine what computers to select as a Windows PE Peer Cache source, there are several things that you should consider:. The Windows PE Peer Cache source should be a desktop computer that is always powered on and available to peer cache clients. The Configuration Manager client must be able to communicate across the following ports on your network:.
Port for the initial network broadcast to find a peer cache source. By default, this is UDP port By default, this is TCP port For more information, see Ports used for connections. Configure the client cache on clients to ensure they have enough space to hold and store the images you deploy. Windows PE Peer Cache does not affect the configuration or behavior of the client cache. The deployment options for the task sequence deployment must be configured as Download content locally when needed by task sequence.
You can use the following methods to provision a client with peer cache content so it can serve as a peer cache source:. A peer cache client that cannot find a peer cache source with the content will download it from a distribution point.
If the client receives client settings that enable peer cache and the task sequence is configured to preserve the cached content, the client becomes a peer cache source. A peer cache client can get content from another peer cache client a peer cache source.
Because the client is configured for peer cache, when it runs a task sequence that is configured to preserve the cached content, the client becomes a peer cache source. A client runs a task sequence that includes the optional step, Download Package Content , which is used to prestage the relevant content that is included in the Windows PE Peer Cache task sequence.
When you use this method:. In addition to the Download Package Content option, the task sequence must also use the Configuration Manager client cache option. You use this option to store the content in the clients cache so the client can act as a peer cache source for other peer cache clients. The following procedures will help you configure Windows PE Peer Cache on clients and configure task sequences that support peer cache.
You can also configure this for the Default Client Settings object. Microsoft has also introduced a number of options for peer-to-peer content distribution for systems management.
The table below summarizes the three Microsoft peer-to-peer solutions available and compares them to 1E Nomad. This article explains each of the options in more detail so you can make an informed decision when choosing a peer-to-peer content distribution solution for Configuration Manager. BranchCache can operate in one of two modes:. If your Distribution Point servers and your clients have the BranchCache feature installed and configured correctly, simply enabling the option in the Configuration Manager Deployment for Packages, see Figure 1 or Deployment Type for Applications, see Figure 2 will make it all happen.
Fig 1. Enabling BranchCache for a Package Deployment. Fig 2. Fig 3. Enabling BranchCache for a Software Update deployment. BranchCache is great because it allows peer-to-peer sharing of any content that is hosted on a server that has BranchCache enabled.
Documents from on-premise SharePoint sites or corporate file servers can be shared among BranchCache peers with no additional configuration required on the client, as long as the hosting server has the feature installed and configured correctly.
When it comes to content distribution in Configuration Manager, there are some things you need to think about when using BranchCache:. It is designed to get around the shortcoming of BranchCache not being officially supported in Windows PE. Fig 4. Note that only Package content including OS images, boot images, driver packages and bog-standard software packages can be obtained using the Window PE Peer Cache feature.
If the client running the Task Sequence is unable to find the content it needs on a Windows PE Peer Cache on the local subnet, it will download the content from the DP. Fig 5.
