Hi,
I did download an try to do the the BRANCHCACHE lab below. To keep it simple, I did it with AD, DNS and GPO (instead of doing it with command lines and WINS) : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17035
All required configuration is done and seems to be correct. I can access to configured shares. But, nothing is really cached by BRANCHCACHE. If I monitor (by Perfmon) the counters below, each of them shows everytime0.0 bytes.
Retrieval: Bytes from server
Retrieval: Bytes served
Retrieval: Bytes from cache
SMB: Bytes from cache
SMB: Bytes from server
I paste below the result of "netsh branchcahe show status all" on Content Server, Host Server and Client.
Thanks in advance for any help !
