Write caching policy
The write caching policy controls how the Windows
Cache Manager is used in the repository and helps
to tune the repository for optimal performance on
different configurations.
Set the value to one of the following:
•
On
•
Off
•
Sync
If set to On, which is the default,
Windows controls the caching. This
is appropriate for Windows 10, and
for versions of Windows Server
2012 and later.
NOTE:
Setting the write caching policy
to On could result in faster performance.
If you are using Windows Server 2008
SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP2,
the recommended setting is Off.
