I have three applications deployments, and contents of applications are available in 2 DPs within same boundary group;
I take one DP offline,after that, I find my client get the first application content from one DPs which is online and installation is success.
The client then try to get remain contents of other application from the offline DP and it failed. Status in Software Center display 0% downloading and keep this status almost 1 hour.
I find one document for SCCM 2007:
How Clients Choose Distribution Points from the List
Clients receive the list of distribution points, perform their own selection criteria, and then attempt to connect with the first distribution point. In most scenarios, if that connection fails (for example, the distribution point computer is down or the name fails to resolve), clients retry that distribution point for 8 hours before trying the next distribution point on the list. Clients retry with exponentially increasing delays, starting with 30 seconds, then 1 minute, then 2 minutes, and so on, until they try once an hour.
Is that behavior same with SCCM 2012 do ?
I think 8 hours is too long,how could I change duration for clients retry ?
And why do MP not validate the DPs availability before it return the DP List to the client?
