Your company has a main office and a branch office. All servers are located in the main office. The branch
office contains 20 client computers that are the members of a workgroup.
You need to configure the client computers to use BranchCache. The solution must minimize the amount of
traffic between the offices.
Which Windows PowerShell cmdlet should you run?
A.
Enable-BCLocal
B.
Enable-BCHostedClient
C.
Enable-BCHostedServer
D.
Enable-BCDistributed
Explanation:
Not sure.
Enable-BCLocal: Sets up this client as a standalone BranchCache client; that is it will look in its own local cache
for content which matches the hashes indicated by the server.
Enable-BCDistributed: Sets up this client to broadcast out to the local network looking for other potential
Distributed BranchCache clients.
Enable-BCHostedClient: Sets up this client to look at a particular static server nominated to host the
BranchCache cache. Required. Configures the BranchCache service to operate in one of the following modes.
DISABLED disables the BranchCache service. LOCAL uses caching on the local computer only. DISTRIBUTED
enables distributed cache mode, allowing authorized client computers in branch offices to download and
republish content.
HOSTEDSERVER configures the local computer as a hosted cache server. HOSTEDCLIENT configures the local
computer as a hosted cache client.
While you can use a local cache, the real benefits come from distributed and hosted mode, where the
browsing actions of a single employee can benefit the whole office. For instance if Employee A and Employee B
are sitting in the same office and both browse to the same site then most of the content for Employee B will be
retrieved direct from Employee A’s laptop rather than re-downloading from the server. That’s really powerful
particularly where there are bandwidth constraints in the office and common sites that are used by all
employees. But it requires that the web server serving the content participates in the Branchcache protocol by
installing the BranchCache feature.w
