ConfigMgr SCCM Prestage Packages to a Remote DP Using Powershell Script Endpoint Manager

ConfigMgr SCCM Prestage Packages to a Remote DP Using Powershell Script Endpoint Manager. In SCCM 2007, I used to ship USB drives with PCK files to different geographical locations to preload the content (packages) onto secondary sites.

That was achieved using preloadpkgonsite.exe (The Preload Package Tool). In SCCM 2012, the above-mentioned preloadpkgonsite.exe won’t work. So we should have another solution.

ConfigMgr SCCM Prestage Packages to a Remote DP Using Powershell Script

One thing we can utilize is pull DP but my first experience with PULL DP is not very exciting. There is scope for improvement:). I’m going to share a very useful script by Ken Smith (PFE). This script is very helpful to preload the packages/content in SCCM 2012 to remote DPs. Read his full post from here.
