Deep Dive into delivery optimization

9. October 20224. January 2023 jannikreinhard6 Comments

You can imagine that when a new Windows patch or a new version of a software is released and has to be installed on every Devices and many PCs start to download the content at the same time from a destination outside the corporate network, the Internet break outs are very busy. Or if the internet connection of a certain location has a low bandwidth the download of a large app takes a long time. But more and more organisations move their applications as well as the update management to the cloud and reduce their on premise infrastructure. To solve this problem microsoft has introduced a very good technology called Delivery Optimization. In this blog we would like to clarify what is DO and take a deeper look at how this works.

How to skip the ESP for a single app installation

Of course, it is a huge advantage to install as many apps as possible during the ESP or even better during the white glove phase so that you have a ready to use device after enrollment.

How you can skip the installation of an app in the ESP I will explain now.

In this blog I will show you how to free up disk space on your clients with an high disk usage. So let’s get started.

To make it easier for you to start with filters I wrote a script which creates a default set of filters.
