![]() The basic workflow for this process looks something like this: Peter van der Woude has a good quick start overview of using smsdpmon: ![]() You can also run it manually by just running smsdpmon.exe (in the SMS_DP$\sms\bin folder on every DP), or you can validate a single package either from the Content tab of a DP in the console, or via command line. You can set it to run on a schedule in the Properties pane of the DP. Content ValidationĬontent Validation is incredibly useful. ![]() It not only saves disk space in general, but also preps you for BranchCache by ensuring all the content hashes BranchCache needs are already calculated up front (rather than needing to calculate them on the fly), saving more disk space and processing overhead. Bryan Dam has a good summary of the benefits of enabling dedupe in that same post linked above. This one is a bit more important, as it does directly affect content on the DP. But both standard and pull DPs present the same challenges when it comes to content management. It’s more down to processing overhead and transfer rates. For a good write up on this, see Bryan Dam’s blog:įor our purposes here, the difference doesn’t matter much. Suffice it to say that there are significant benefits to considering pull DPs, particularly if you’re working in a larger environment. I’m not going to reinvent the wheel on going over the differences between standard DPs and pull DPs. I’m really only going to go into detail on the Content Library Reconciliation bit, as that’s the one which has caused me a lot of headache in the past, but I’ll drop some links and some high level detail for other things to consider. Luckily, there’s some simple things we can do to take this burden away. It’s easy to feel like you’re constantly drowning in a sea of DP warnings and errors. Getting content distributed is one thing, but then making sure it STAYS distributed, and old things are getting cleaned up, and making sure all the content hashes are correct, etc.
