What are the recommended supported clients per site when thinking about a Win10/Win11 DP?
We have several sites that range from 50 > 3000 users.
Client wants to get rid of Server OS as far as possible.

In reply to vijaya. Re-check the boundary and boundary groups.

Thanks for providing configuration details.
Configuration of Windows 10 DP is completed without any issues. But client is picking primary server instead of local Win 10 dp. Boundary changes are also done, but still client picks the primary server.

Any specific configurations to be made so can pick this dp

Hello
Great article, very usefull

Are you aware of any issues in regards of USMT services on this DP ?

Excellent, this could be the answer to my prayers.

However, what features do we lose or gain by not having WDS? Can we still use Task Sequences in the same way as if we had a DP?

In reply to Vijay. Check DNS records and see if you can resolve the computer name.
