How to Setup Distribution Point in SCCM 2012 R2
In this post we will see the steps
on how to setup
Distribution Point
in SCCM 2012 R2. Distribution points play a very
important role in the delivery of packages, programs, endpoint protection updates,
applications, software updates, and operating system deployment (OSD). When the
site server is installed, it becomes a distribution point by default. However, you might
want to assign other site systems as distribution points and remove the DP role from
the site server to reduce its resource requirements and improve its performance as
well as to load balance the potentially significant network traffic generated by clients
downloading package source files. In Configuration Manager 2007, there were three
basic types of distribution points
Standard, Server Share
and
Branch Distribution
Points.
Starting with Configuration Manager 2012, Microsoft has updated the
distribution point role to become one standard distribution point. In this post we will
be installing the Distribution Point role on Windows Server 2012 R2 server.

This is really important. Before you install DP role check whether the operating
system supports the installation of DP role. For example if you are planning to install
DP on Windows 7, distribution points on this operating system version do not
support Multicast or PXE. Click the
link
to know more about it. When you install a
distribution point, you see an option to “Install
and configure IIS if required by
Configuration Manager“.
When you enable this option the Configuration Manager
will install and configure IIS if it is not installed. In case you want to install the
prerequisites manually then install the below listed IIS prerequisites.
Note
Remote Differential Compression
IIS Configuration:
Application Development: ISAPI Extensions
Security: Windows Authentication
IIS 6 Management Compatibility: IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility, IIS 6 WMI
Compatibility
To support PXE or multicast role on DP, the WDS role is required.  WDS installs and
configures automatically when you configure a distribution point to support PXE or
Multicast on Windows Server 2012. Also
PowerShell 3.0
is required on Windows
Server 2012 before you install the distribution point.
Next, you need to add the SCCM site server computer account to the Local
Administrators
group on the box where DP role is to be installed. In this example,
SCCM
is the name of the site server and
SCCMDP01
is my DP server where DP role
shall be installed. So I add the
SCCM
site server computer account to the Local
Administrators group on
SCCMDP01
computer.

 Allow
clients to connect anonymously:
Enable this check box only if you need
anonymous connections to the DP. The ConfigMgr client uses the Local System
account and the Network Access account to connect to the DP.
Click
Next.
Specify the drive settings for the distribution point –
You can configure up to two
disk drives for the content library and two disk drives for the package share.
Drive space reserve (MB) –
The value that you configure for this setting determines
the amount of free space on a drive before Configuration Manager 2012 chooses a
different drive and continues the copy process to that drive. By default the
Drive
space reserve
is 50 MB, in this example I will setting it to 1024 MB.
Content Locations –
Specify the content locations for the content library and
package share. Configuration Manager 2012 will copy content to the primary content
location until the amount of free space reaches the value specified for Drive space
reserve (MB). By default the content locations are set to
Automatic
and the primary
content location will be set to the disk drive that has the most disk space at
