Casper Admin - syncing multiple distribution points

[CasperSally]

It's probably in the docs somewhere, but I had no idea if you want to replicate to multiple distribution points, you can select more than one distribution point at a time (this is 9.32).

Woulda been great to know when I was compiling and replicating like crazy a few weekends ago.

Figured I'd post in case someone else didn't know this. Maybe it's been around forever, and I just never tried.

I didn't know this either!

Wow had no idea this was supported. Just never tried. It works in 8.73 as well!

Hot damn! This is HUGE. Thank you!

Hi 1: You have to specify the master DP(which you can connect to).
2: For the other DPs you want replicate to, you must be able to connect to them also.
3: You can replicate to the other DPs one time each. (But usually the other DPs are hosted locally which means you only have access to one local DP hosted in you local network.)

Glad some of you found it useful. Wish support had told me about it when I was complaining about compiling/syncing. Better later than never though.

Have you looked at JDS?

@donmontalvo - We considered them, and in talking with JAMF it was recommended that we not use them. I forget which requirement we had that they didn't fulfill at this point.
