Question about Distribution Point

[shigenobuchan]

Currently we have our primary site setup and fully functional. We have a remote office, and would like to configure a server in the remote office as a distribution point. In order to do this, would the server in that remote office first have to be configured as a secondary site? Or can I just go to "Site Systems" and then right click and select New > Server?

Also, what is the difference between selecting New > Server compared to New > Server Share in the above scenario?

Really appreciate any feedback...Thanks

no you could just set it up as a distribution point.

then after you select it as a dp make it protected.

Hi!

A server share works fine - maybe this helps:
