Distribution point is the Configuration Manager role that stages packages to clients. The distribution point role is more enhanced than in earlier versions. In Configuration Manager 2012, the old standard, server share, and branch distribution points are merged into one distribution point role.
The following are design rules for distribution points on a remote site without a local primary site or secondary site server present:
◆ The bandwidth of your network is sufficient to communicate and send and receive information such as client inventory, client policies, reporting status, or discovery information to or from a management point.
◆ Background Intelligent Transfer Service does not provide enough bandwidth control for your network environment.
◆ You need to stream virtual applications to clients at a remote location.
◆ You need to use the multicast protocol for deploying operating systems to clients at a remote location.
◆ You need downward flow of data.
If these rules do not apply and a primary site or secondary site is also not needed, your clients can probably use a remote distribution point.
A distribution point cannot be connected to a central administration point; it always communicates with a primary site or a secondary site.
