BRANCHCACHE not working on VMs lab (2008 R2)

el_malick

I tried BRANCHCACHE many times, on VMs lab.

Unfortunately, caching never worked ; even if I force the latency to zero (Netsh branchcache smb set latency latency=0).

Is there a special configuration to set for BRANCHCACHE on VM ?

Hi,

Are you labbing this to get the knowledge for one of the MS exams or is it because you will be implementing it in a production environment ?

If the former I would look at some of the videos on Youtube. Freeittraining do a very good video on it.

For the 70-680 exam I had a few questions on Branchecache and although I didn't lab it I knew enough about how it works to get through the questions.

I lab most stuff but Branchecache was not one of them I labbed. I looked at the GPOs and PS commands.

Does Branchecache work in VMs ?

Hi culpano,

I'm learning for MS 70-646 exam. I did already look to that very good ItFreetraining resource. I also read some books and did use Pluralsight videos. I understand the concepts. But ! Labbing with VmWare VMs unfortunately never work.
