SCCM Boundaries and Boundary Groups and DP.
SCCM Boundaries and Boundary Groups and DP.
In the scenario where I have Boundary based on IP Subnet (192.168.10.0) then you add the Boundary to a Boundary Group then you add the Boundary Group to Distribution Point.
At this point:
1- if I already have computers in that subnet (192.168.10.0) witch SCCM Client Installed then I deploy OS Task Sequence to a Collection of devices that are in the subnet (192.168.10.0), will Computers in the subnet (192.168.10.0) get the OS deployed to them? I believe they will get the OS based on whether the Install will run from Software Center or PXE boot or from bootable media.
2- if I have computers in the subnet (192.168.10.0), but do not have SCCM client and are not discovered yet (Unknown computers), then deploying OS Task sequence to the unknown computers. Will the unknown computers get the OS? I believe computers will get OS through PXE if the subnet (192.168.10.0) is configured in DHCP for PXE, or through Bootable media.
*My point on this question is to understand that Boundary based on IP Subnet has no relevance with the Subnet used in DHCP when configured for PXE boot .
Assuming they are the same subnet.
3- another thing that I want to understand, if we need to distribute content of Task Sequence to DP. I have tried it, but the wizard never showed the DP, and when I go to DP contents to see if the TS is already there, then I cannot see it... Was wondering if Distributing Content of TS is not necessary even though the option is there.
Thank you

No. That is the whole point of grouping your DPs into groups.
Think gravy and custard. You want tins in section 10 to get gravy.
You pour the gravy (image) into the food distribution machine. You pour custard into 2nd hopper and send it tins in section 20.
If you press the "go gravy" button and all tins get it you'd get fired (or a strong warning) for having custard and gravy mixed.
In reality the focus for DP groups is to bunch servers in geographic areas. Other choices could be political or bandwidth. It depends if your company is national, global.
Please put the sub-questions into new questions to avoid complicating things for people.

I will come back to this topic in the future
Thank you Guys!
Thank you Guys!

It is informative link, the model was based on AD sites , each AD site belongs to separate Boundary Group.
from the above link you posted:
To resume :
Site Assignment boundary group associate a resource to a site
Content Location boundary group is used to retrieve its deployment content (applications, packages, images, etc)
Let's say you distribute and Image to DP that has a Boundary Group and that Boundary Group has one Boundary that is IP subnet based (192.168.10.0/24). Then You deploy the Image to a Collection of Devices that are in different subnet (192.168.20.0/24)..
Will computers on subnet 192.168.20.0/24 get the image ?
Thank you
