Has anyone used BranchCache before? – What was your experience?

So it’s user feedback time.

Part of the reason for this blog is for us as a community to try and share our experiences as Windows 7 users/implementers.

To that end, I am starting a series of user feedback posts asking for your common experiences with Windows 7 deployment tools.

The first tool i wanted to get your feedback on was BranchCache.

Microsoft define BranchCache this way:

BranchCache enables content from file and Web servers on a wide area network (WAN) to be cached on computers at a local branch office.

BranchCache can improve application response time and reduce WAN traffic. Cached content can either be distributed across peer client computers (distributed cache mode) or centrally hosted on a server (hosted cache mode).

We have a page on BranchCache here but we wanna know, what’s your experience been with this tool?

Was it easy to set up and use? What problems did you have deploying it?

Use the comment form below and share your experience…
