common implementations

[m1kew1lson]

Are there any standards for how the majority of companies out there implements EPO, I have been running it in a test environment and am now looking at deployment options for my organization.

4 offices in a slow wan.

We have a fairly slow WAN and found that it was more efficient to have one ePO Server and Two distributed repositories on site and have all workstations connect back to our main location, rather than have repositories at each location.

Depends upon your architecture. Give the following info...

Rough # of clients
Rough # of locations
Do you have very good bandwidth remaining between remaining locations?

For the offices with a slow LAN you can place a SuperAgent on a box on those locations and have the clients on the local subnet pull from the SuperAgent. [Superagents will only service machines on local subnet.]

This reduces it to one box per slow location pulling updates down from repository. SuperAgents do not have to be high powered machines. If a SuperAgent goes down then the client will then attempt to grab from distributed repository.
