Applies To: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012

You can use these procedures to create a Group Policy Object for all of the computers in your organization, to configure domain member client computers with distributed cache mode or hosted cache mode, and to configure Windows Firewall with Advanced Security to allow BranchCache traffic.

This section contains the following procedures.

  1. To create a Group Policy Object and configure BranchCache modes

  2. To configure Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Inbound Traffic Rules

  3. To configure Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Outbound Traffic Rules

Tip

In the following procedure, you are instructed to create a Group Policy Object in the Default Domain Policy, however you can create the object in an organizational unit (OU) or other container that is appropriate for your deployment.

You must be a member of Domain Admins, or equivalent to perform these procedures.

To create a Group Policy Object and configure BranchCache modes

  1. On a computer upon which the Active Directory Domain Services server role is installed, in Server Manager, click Tools, and then click Group Policy Management. The Group Policy Management console opens.

  2. In the Group Policy Management console, expand the following path: Forest:  example.com, Domains, example.com, Group Policy Objects, where example.com is the name of the domain where the BranchCache client computer accounts that you want to configure are located.

  3. Right-click Group Policy Objects, and then click New. The New GPO dialog box opens. In Name, type a name for the new Group Policy Object (GPO). For example, if you want to name the object BranchCache Client Computers, type BranchCache Client Computers. Click OK.
