Primary site

A primary site server is a fundamental server type deployed in the ConfigMgr environment. The main difference between this server and central administration is that it directly supports the clients as well as shares and receives data from them. This is a reason why this server type supports installing server roles such as management point and distribution point. It requires MS SQL and being connected to a central administration site; it replicates its own data and data received from the associated secondary site.

Each primary site can support up to:

• 250 secondary sites
• 15 management point
• 250 distribution points
