BranchCache Requirements

BranchCache has several requirements that must be met. These primarily focus on ensuring that you have the right operating systems and that they are configured to use BranchCache. The requirements are as follows:

Configuration of Windows 8.1 Clients Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 clients can cache or access files used with BranchCache. In addition, the clients must be configured using either Group Policy or the netsh command. For example, you can use this command from an administrative command prompt to configure clients to use distributed caching: netsh branchcache set service distributed. This command will configure the firewall and service settings. You can disable it with this command: netsh branchcache set service disabled.

Source Server Requirements The server hosting content that will be cached must be running Windows Server 2012 R2 (Windows Server 2008 R2 can also be used here) and the BranchCache For Network Files role service must be added as part of the File Services role. Also, shares must be configured to support BranchCache. Some servers, such as web servers, require additional configuration.

Remote Office Server Requirements If hosted cache mode is used, you must enable the BranchCache feature on server in the remote office. If you don't have at least a Windows Server 2008 R2, you can use distributed cache mode instead.
