Fix Are You Struggling with SCCM Task Sequence Content Push over WAN

Fix Are you Struggling with SCCM Task Sequence Content Push over WAN? SCCM/ConfigMgr admins struggle with large content distribution over the WAN, especially when deploying large content associated with a Task Sequence.

Delivery of the Task Sequence is always critical for SCCM admins when updating the existing SCCM Task Sequence with new packages, updated boot images, etc. So, what is so vital in this TS scenario?

The OS deployment and mission-critical migration projects won’t work until the updated packages are successfully distributed to DP.

The Task Sequence will not start as dependent packages are not successfully distributed to the respective DPs. Also, your boot image and other package replication should not impact the business-critical WAN traffic, which could be other business-critical applications like Common.

Following are the 4 game-changing pre-staging technologies that are part of Adaptiva Onesite. OneSite content push takes the world’s best pre-staging capability to a new level. Fix Are you Struggling with SCCM Task Sequence Content Push over WAN?

  • Content Push: Pre-stage SCCM content over the WAN to each remote office quickly with no impact on the network with SCCM traffic, and SCCM admins are safe.  Pre-stage SCCM content over the WAN at any time without worry; no throttling, no schedule, and no waiting because content travels in free bandwidth and never interferes with business traffic.
  • Content Push for Task Sequences: Content push for task sequences enhances the content push capability to support OSD. Pre-stage extremely large SCCM content related to the task sequence, such as 25GB+ OS images. The Content Push Policy Settings window’s Content List tab lets you identify the content you would like to pre-stage (to collections targeted in the General tab).
  • IntelliStage: Intelligently select the best-suited systems for pre-staging and keep a minimum number of copies of content at every location. OneSite’s IntelliStage automatically selects the best-suited machines at a site to cache content. It also improves business continuity by retaining multiple copies of content at each operating location.
  • AutoStage: As SCCM administrators, we spend a lot of time entering the specifics of what content goes to where for each SCCM deployment. AutoStage frees up your time by letting you preconfigure pre-staging for different types of content. It automatically pre-stages content to desired locations by configuring pre-staging for different types of content.
