We are in the process of deploying Desktop Central and we ran into a bit of an issue. We are using DFS replication for the Software and Patch repository. We have started replicating the DFS now to 2 of our sites for testing and we noticed that the patches are not being pulled from the DFS share by the agent but is getting it directly from the Desktop Central Server. 

We have a number of sites that we have to manage and we cannot push patches across the link during normal hours as the lines will not be able to carry the load. Therefore DFS would be the best solution for our business. Is there any way to force the agent to rather look at the DFS share than pulling it from the DC Server? I understand (have not tested yet) that the Software repositories actually does work like this. 

On the desktop central server we have set the  Patch Repository Location as the DFS share and not a local or normal server UNC path.

Your urgent response will be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Rudolf Eksteen
