System Center 2012 - Replicating Data and Managing Content in Configuration Manager 2012 (MOC10748.S5)

Description

In a Microsoft® System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager multiple-site hierarchy, data is transferred between sites to allow for centralized administration and reporting. Understanding how data transfer works helps you monitor the data flow in your Configuration Manager hierarchy and troubleshoot replication issues.

Configuration Manager 2012 uses database replication and file-based transfer to transfer data between sites. The data transfer method that Configuration Manager 2012 uses depends on the type of data it is transferring.

In this module, you will review the data types, including global data, site data, and content. You will also examine the location of the data and the replication process of the data to other sites in a Configuration Manager hierarchy. Additionally, you will use the features in the Configuration Manager console to monitor and troubleshoot replication.

Configuration Manager 2012 relies on the distribution point infrastructure to provide content management functionality. In this module, you will review the content management features, plan the configuration of distribution points, and distribute and monitor content. You will also perform content validation and content prestaging.
