I have published the install configuration manager distribution point guide in the previous post.
In this post, you shall learn how to remove/reinstall the distribution point (Remove Configuration Manager Distribution Point). ConfigMgr|SCCM Remove Distribution Point Role Guide.
IMPORTANT! – When you remove a configuration manager distribution point, all the packages distributed to that DP shall get removed. You might need to deploy containers to the DP again even if you reinstate it.
Remove Distribution Point Role
Let’s see how to remove/uninstall a configuration manager distribution point. The following are the steps you need to follow:
- Navigate – \Administration\Overview\Site Configuration\Servers and Site System Roles
- Right Click on Distribution Point and Select Remove
- Click on Yes to confirm the removal of the DP role from the site system server
Prerequisite – Make sure the SCCM remote site server computer account is part of the Local Administrators group before removing the distribution point role on a site system server.

You can review the Hman.log log file to know the status of the successful completion of the Configuration manager distribution point removal process.

It depends on the content/packages/applications source files that you distribute to remote DP. I normally try to avoid creating remote DPs when it’s at the end of saturated WAN network.
I have some sites with 10 Mbits and 40 Users or more, and the majority of sites they have 2 Mbits link to datacenter where my SCCM server is installed so, for you it is recommanded to link these sites with 2 Mbits to datacneter ?
