Secondary Site

A secondary site is installed through the Configuration Management console. The site can be used to service clients in remote locations where network control is needed. You can use secondary sites for servicing site roles such as software update points, PXE-enabled distribution points, and state migration points and if you need tiered content routing for deep network topologies.

Reassigning a secondary site to another primary site is not possible; you need to delete the secondary site and reinstall it from the Configuration Manager console. The following are design rules for secondary sites:

◆ When installing a secondary site, it will automatically install SQL Server Express if a local SQL Server is not available.
◆ Secondary sites that are installed as children of a primary site will configure database replication to the parent site automatically.
◆ Secondary sites use database replication for the communication to their parent sites and receive a subset of the Configuration Manager database.
◆ Secondary sites support the routing of file-based content between secondary sites.
◆ When installing secondary sites, a management point and a distribution point are installed automatically.
◆ Upward and downward flow of data is required.

The following site roles can be configured for secondary site servers:
◆ Management point
◆ Distribution point
◆ Software update point
◆ State migration point
