Verify Cache Server Functionality
In
Check a Connected Cache node from the host and a Windows client, then inspect Delivery Optimisation activity. The recorded health check expects HTTP 200 and the client check expects an image download.

These notes were recovered from OneNote. Configuration, permissions and operating results have not been freshly verified. Confirm the applicable authority and environment before acting.
Verification steps include:
- Cache host functionality
- Run the following command on the cache host server:
- wget http://localhost/filestreamingservice/files/7bc846e0-af9c-49be-a03d-bb04428c9bb5/Microsoft.png?cacheHostOrigin=dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com
- If successful, there should be an HTTP response with StatusCode 200.
- Cache host access from clients.
- Visit the following address from a web browser on a Windows client device:
- http://%5BCacheServer-IP-address%5D/filestreamingservice/files/7bc846e0-af9c-49be-a03d-bb04428c9bb5/Microsoft.png?cacheHostOrigin=dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com
- If successful, the Windows client device should begin to download a small image file from the Connected Cache node.
- Delivery Optimisation statistics from a client PC
- Settings>Windows Update>Advanced Options>Delivery Optimization>Activity Monitor
Expected Outcomes
The source reports historical cache-server results of ~94-95% cache hit rates, with 2-3TB of data weekly served via the cache server rather than the external Windows Update servers.
