just checking this to make sure;
in SCCM 2012 if you deploy an application, a package or a (set of) updates in what circumstances will the content be downloaded precisely ?
I know that updates are Always downloaded now, but is it correct that applications are alsoAlways downloaded and/or does this behavior change if you use a required vs an available purpose?
for packages you still have the option in a deployment to set it to run from dp or download and run locally, this option is not available for applications
there is some info on technet about the cache behavior in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712288.aspx but it can be interpreted..
