If you configure the content with the option to persist content in the client cache, the client doesn't automatically delete it. It remains in the cache for the configured number of minutes after the client uses that content.

The client tries to download the content every four hours until it tries 18 times.Ĭached content isn't automatically deleted and is only removed if new content requires its disk space. If you later increase the cache size, the client attempts to download the content again during the next retry interval. If the client attempts to download content that's less than the size of the cache, but the cache is full, all required deployments keep retrying until:

For a required application: The client automatically retries to download the content when it downloads its client policy.

Redeploy the package and program to the client.

For a required program: The client doesn't automatically retry to download the content.

If you increase the cache size later, the result is: The client generates status message 10050 for insufficient cache size.

If the client attempts to download content for a program or application that's greater than the size of the cache, the deployment fails because of insufficient cache size. When the required version of the content changes, or if the client deletes the content to make room for another package, the client downloads the content to the cache again. If content is in the cache and it's the correct version, the client uses the cached content. At the scheduled time, the Configuration Manager client checks to see whether the content is available in the cache.

The Configuration Manager client downloads the content for required software soon after the deployment's available time but waits to run it until the deployment's scheduled time. Configuration Manager can't download content to an encrypted folder. Don't encrypt the folder used for the client cache.
