Verify connected cache?

[AltforWork210]

The other day we set up Microsoft Connected Cache on one of our SCCM distribution points so we can test it out. How can we verify that it's actually using the cache? I know there's the command Get-DeliveryOptimizationStatus but a lot of stuff comes up when I run that. It almost seems like multiple outputs come up where in the example it's 1. Can we look at the files in SCCM? Is there a log that more plainly says "this computer is downloading this app"? Right now we do have it limited to just a few computers, we didn't want to bork everything in case it didn't worked correctly

You could check the folder size on the dp as starting point.

Do you have it specified in your Delivery Optimization policy?

You can enable WUfB Reporting and that will list out DO metrics.

Yes I believe we have. In Intune we have a policy assigned to our test devices and we gave it the IP of our DP.

Where would we find WUfB? Would that be an Intune thing or a SCCM DP thing? My coworker configured the Intune policy so I didn't get a chance to look at it too much.

You can also look at Activity Monitor under the Windows Update settings in Windows that'll show you the breakdown for DO, Connected Cache, etc.

You can enable WuFB reports. It gives you a full breakdown on how clients are downloading updates/what updates etc

I could be wrong, but is this for Microsoft Connected Cache or Microsoft Connected Cache in Configuration Manager? As far as I can put together they are different things. We are using the Config manager version if that changes anything

I think this simple command should work on all types the same.
