Here’s a ConfigMgr Compliance baseline that checks the BranchCache configuration on Windows 8 clients. 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.
- Is BranchCache Enabled
- Is the Service Running
- Is BranchCache operating in Distributed Cache mode
The following PowerShell commands are included within the configuration items.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
$bcstat = get-bcstatus | Select-Object -Property BranchCacheIsEnabled $($bcstat).BranchCacheIsEnabled #True $bcsrv = get-bcstatus | Select-Object -Property BranchCacheServiceStatus $($bcsrv).BranchCacheServiceStatus #Running $bmode = get-bcstatus | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ClientConfiguration $($bmode).CurrentClientMode # DistributedCache |
The result is as following (when all is compliant.
Or as following when things are NOT Compliant.
