Clients downloading packages from the standard distribution point in the site instead of the branch distribution point ?


Q. Why are my clients downloading packages from the standard distribution point in the site instead of the branch distribution point?

Solution :
When distribution points are considered equal by the management point (for example, in the same site), distribution points that are enabled for BITS are preferred to distribution points that use SMB.  Branch distribution points always use SMB so when both types are available in the same site, clients will not use the branch distribution point.  To resolve this, protect the branch distribution point and configure the clients that you want to use it in the protected boundaries of that branch distribution point.
