Delivery Optimization – Autopilot Build devices

Why?

The current on-prem solution like the Configuration manager peer caching which is using the client settings, to save the bandwidth during the Autopilot build Pre-provisioning (Whit glove) process in corporate network, the content wont be downloaded multiple times over the same leased line from the CDN , isn’t it amazing you only download the content per subnet once then the binaries being shared- locally ?, how cost effective it would be for the organization , see below for further info.

How to configure ?

We do have the Intune Configuration profile to setup the same settings catalog for the Delivery optimization.

In group ID you want to choose your Prod – AD group ID, so that devices in that group only gets this policy default.

Delivery Optimization is a technology that’s shipped with Windows 10 and is active by default. It enables your computer to search the local network, LAN or WLAN, and download updates from neighbors, and only use the central site when needed.

By doing this, you will save both time and bandwidth while keeping your devices up to date.

How to check its working on your windows devices.

1. Open the Start Menu, Click Settings, Update & Security.
2. Click the Delivery Optimization button on your left to find the settings we are looking for.

When its managed by your organization , if its only local network the devices would have the above settings applied on it, you are free to configure and allow it download even from the Internet but it depends on one organization security policy.

The introduction of Delivery Optimization by Microsoft enabled us to streamline our update deployments. We are able to achieve high update compliance in remote offices, which has always been a challenge.

Also we have now b/w savings over the leased line by 38% when a device is connect to the office network!! and overall 23% in this Remote working scenario, isn’t it amazing what are you waiting for go-ahead and implement it today.
