Let’s find out about the SCCM rate limits option in the post. After reading the post, you will be able to find out where the SCCM Rate Limits Option is in Distribution Point Properties.
Today, I wasted 10 minutes searching the “Rate Limits” tab/option in SCCM ConfigMgr 2012 Distribution Point Properties. The positioning of the “Rate Limits” tab is exciting on TOP of all the other TABs.
Rate limit restrictions work based on the size of the data limit or maximum data transfer limits. We will find out more details about the size of the data limit in the following section of this blog post.
What is a Distribution Point? A distribution point contains source files for clients to download. You can control content distribution using bandwidth, throttling, and scheduling options.

Where is the SCCM Rate Limits Option in Distribution Point Properties
The following screenshot shows how to change the rate limit option from DP properties. So, I thought of just highlighting it with the screenshot.
- Navigate to \Administration\Overview\Distribution Points.
- Right-click on the Remote Site System DP record.
- Select Properties
- You can check the above section, where I explained how to configure the File Replication schedule and rate limit options.
You can now refer to the detailed post on rate limit specifications in SCCM (SCCM Server Side Bandwidth Management Options). This is a different screenshot of SCCM rate limit options.

Hi Anoop,
I cannot see this option in the RC version. Which version are you looking at?
Dea
Never mind. I found it…
Quote: “The Rate Limits and Schedule tabs are displayed only in the properties for distribution points that are not installed on a site server.”
Hi Dean ! – Yes, I was using RC.
