In this guide, we will learn how to install Pull Distribution Point in SCCM 2012 R2, before that we will put some lights to understand what is Pull DP.
Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 introduces a new type of distribution point called a pull distribution point. By configuring pull DP instead of having to get the content from the primary site, a distribution point can pull the content from the nearest distribution point. Pull distribution points still allow you to specify where each distribution point resides in the hierarchy but also gives you the flexibility of defining the source distribution point. The result also allows you to overcome the previous limitation of a maximum of 250 distribution points and helps reduce the load of content distribution on primary sites.
Follow the below steps to perform the installation of Pull DP.
In Configuration Manager Console, Select the Administration Workspace, Site Configuration, right click on sites and then select Create Site System Server.
