We have sites in the US and Europe. Our concern is due to network speeds and such in order for staff in Europe to access the SEPM database which is located in the US they have to remote in to the server to do any sort of management tasks. I would like to know if I can replicate our single SEPM database to a server closer to their location so they do not have the delay when trying to manage the SEPM. Any changes made to either database of course would need to replicate with one another. Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

You can do this just make sure the SEPMs are on the same version before configuring replication.

Are you using the embedded DB or a SQL db?

The Philosophy of SEPM Replication Setup

RDP traffic is much lesser when compared to replication traffic. why dont you use remote console.

They currently use RDP to connect to the local server. Issue is we only have a few RDP connections available and sometimes they are in use by others when they need to connect. Thanks.

Have you tried the remote console?

Replication will cause network traffic and it needs proper planning

adding additional site

extra server for SEPM, Extra DB , additional management.

just because RDP session in use by other users does not justify :) 

Try the remote console I mentioned earlier. You need not have to log in to the servers for that. 

Its my suggestion , if you still want to go with Replication you are free to do that.

OK if we do setup an additional site, I assume our current licenses would span the two sites correct? I am in agreement at this point it seems easier to have them use the remote console or RDP. Thanks again.

Yes licenses would still be valid. No additional license is required

Thanks for all of the information! It will be very helpful in deciding whether or not to setup a replication partner.
