ConfigMgr–Compliance Baseline for BranchCache on Windows 8

With the release of Windows 8 and Server 2012 Microsoft also made available PowerShell cmdlets for BranchCache, so creating a script based configuration item in ConfigMgr becomes a pretty straight forward task.

The below Compliance Baseline checks the following 3 things.

  1. Is BranchCache Enabled
  2. Is the Service Running
  3. Is BranchCache operating in Distributed Cache mode
