Download content locally when needed by running task sequence

Specifies whether an advertised program is downloaded only as files are needed by the Configuration Manager 2007 client computer. For multicast operating system deployment in Configuration Manager 2007 R2, only this method of distribution is supported.

Download all content locally before running task sequence

Specifies whether an advertised program is completely downloaded to the client computer before Configuration Manager 2007 attempts to run the program.

Access content directly from a distribution point when needed by a running task sequence

Specifies whether an advertised program is run directly form a distribution point. This option should be selected for low bandwidth network connections.

When no local distribution point is available, use a remote distribution point

Specifies whether the Configuration Manager 2007 client will use a remote distribution point if a local distribution is not available.

When no protected distribution point is available, use an unprotected distribution point

Specifies whether Configuration Manager 2007 will permit a client to use an unprotected distribution point if content is not immediately available on its protected distribution point, or if it forces a client to use the protected local distribution point if it is within the boundaries for that point.If this check box is selected, a client will use distribution points based on the following criteria:

1. If a protected distribution point with the content provisioned is detected, the client will use a protected distribution point.
   
   
2. If a protected distribution point is detected but the content does not appear to be present (such as with network problems), the client will continue to check the protected distribution point for eight hours and then use an unprotected distribution point.
   
   
3. If no protected distribution with the content is detected, the client will use an unprotected distribution point.
   
   

If the check box is cleared, the client will use an unprotected distribution point only if the content has not been sent to any protected distribution point.For more information about how to set a network access account, see How to Configure the Network Access Account.
