issued by a trusted CA. This certificate must be configured with an intended use that includes
client authentication, and it must allow the private key to be exported.
If you use Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2, consider enabling dedupli-
cation on the volume that hosts the distribution point. This minimizes the amount of space
consumed by content storage.
You can add the Distribution Point Site System role to an existing site system, or you can
add a new site system server and then add the Distribution Point Site System role to the new
site system server. Before installing the Distribution Point Site System role, ensure that the
account you use to install the site system role is a member of the local Administrators group
on the site system.
Use the following set of instructions to install and configure a distribution point site system
role:
1.
In the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager console, click the Administration
workspace.
2.
Expand Site Configuration and then click the Servers And Site System Roles node.
3.
To create a new site system role, right-click Servers And Site System Roles and then
click Create Site System Server. To add a new role to an existing site server, in the
results pane, right-click the server and then click Add Site System Roles. Both methods
open the General page of the Create Site System Server Wizard.
4.
On the Select A Server To Use As A Site System page, configure the following options
as necessary:
Name
For a new site system server, you must provide either the NetBIOS or FQDN
of the computer that will host the system role. If you supply the NetBIOS name, it
resolves automatically to the required FQDN for use. For existing site system serv-
ers, this value will be configured already.
■
Site Code
For a new site system server, select the site code that will be associated
with this site system. For existing site system servers, this value will be configured
already.
■
Specify An FQDN For This Site System For Use On The Internet
If you use this
site system to communicate with Internet-based clients, you need to specify the
FQDN that is resolvable from the Internet. This setting is optional, depending on
whether you support Internet-based clients.
■
Require The Site Server To Initiate Connections To This Site System
The
default behavior of site systems is to initiate a connection to the site server to send
status information. However, in untrusted locations, such as a perimeter network or
an untrusted domain, this might not be desirable. The setting ensures that the site
server always initiates connections with the site system.
■
Use The Site Server's Computer Account To Install This Site System
By
default, the site server's computer account is used to install the site system. To
install the site system successfully, be sure that the site server's computer account is
