The DhcpOption.exe will be provided from an Azure Blob Storage account. To make sure we do not interfere with the native implementation starting with 1803 I implemented a logic to disable the scheduled task and remove the registry key as soon as Windows 10 version 1803, a build greater than 16299 is found. The Delivery Optimization service will query the registry value for every new request and this makes sure a client uses the Group ID delivered by DHCP from the particular site. For this we schedule the script as a scheduled task and run it at logon and on every unlock of the workstation. To support travelling users we need to make sure the device will query the DHCP server from time to time to get the group ID belonging to the current DHCP scope the client is using. See Configure Delivery Optimization with Intune for Windows Update for Business how to configure the DHCP server for this. Prerequisite is an available Option ID 234 on the DHCP server.

I’m a little proud that the idea was well received and my product feedback was implemented as new option within six month.

It was implemented into the latest Windows 10 version 1803 based on my feedback. The new Windows 10 Peer 2 Peer feature Delivery Optimization was enhanced by the setting to query DHCP option ID 234 to get a Group ID ( DOGroupIdSource).
