Site Boundaries
Configuration Manager 2007 uses boundaries to determine when clients and site systems are in the site and outside of the site. Boundaries can be IP subnets, IP address ranges, IPv6 prefixes, and Active Directory sites. Two sites should never share the same boundaries. Assigning the same IP subnet, IP address range, IPv6 prefix, or Active Directory site to two different sites makes it difficult to determine which clients should be managed in the site.
The Configuration Manager 2007 administrator configures each boundary in the site to be either a fast or slow boundary, depending on the connection speed. If a client computer is connected to a fast boundary, such as a 10-MBPS LAN, it might install software; however, if the client computer is connected to a slow boundary, such as a dial-up network or a wireless network, it might install the software differently or not install the software at all. If the client computer connects to a boundary in a different site, Configuration Manager 2007 might be able to determine a closer source for installing the software.
