Sccm Client Cache Settings

[staylor1972]

I'm trying to set the cache setting for our SCCM clients to 20GB but it never seems to update the settings on the workstations.

 

I've set the client settings as shown in the attachment.

If i go to the workstation and go to configuration Manager and click on Cache and Configure settings it updates the Cache to 20GB. Obviously i don't want to go to every PC and do this

 

 

Please can anyone advise where i've gone wrong?

How long are you leaving it between making the change and checking the devices? The clients will need to download the machine policy again to pick up the changes. Have the machines refreshed the policy since you made the change?

I didn't know you could change the cache setting size from the SCCM console. I've got ours being set by a Powershell script in the task sequence when the machine is built.

Thanks for the quick replies.

 

I made the changes yesterday morning about 10ish and got distracted with other things. so i'm assuming that the machine policy has been refreshed.

Is there a way that I can do that manually?

You didn't used to be able to. It was added to the client settings in... *quickly googles*... the 1606 release

From the console you can right click on a device (or multiple) -> Client Notification -> Download computer policy

Good to know! I might phase out my script then.

Thanks for that - I've just refreshed the computer policy so i'll check what's happened after lunch

Morning Guys

 

I've ran the computer redesh policy and have looked at the cache settings but it hasn't updated:

 

If I click on the configure settings button however it does apply the correct cache size:

 

Any ideas where i'm going wrong?

I think that happens on ours and it works fine

I am wondering if the GUI isn't reporting the updated cache size and clicking 'configure settings' refreshes it?

 

Grab a machine that is reporting the incorrect cache size and check the actual cache size using powershell: https://www.prajwaldesai.com/get-configuration-manager-client-cache-size-using-powershell/

 

Basically in an admin sessions enter: Get-WmiObject -Namespace ROOT\CCM\SoftMgmtAgent

Then type in "CacheConfig" as the class it asks for

 

Check and see if the reported cache size is correct.

Thanks for that spakeh it reports back the correct size of 20GB.

 

The odd thing is if I logon to a PC and click the config settings and then try and deploy the software it installs without any issues. If I don't then I get various error messages.

Same. The cache tab on ours reports 0, until you actually click configure, then it shows you the actual cache size.
