Key notes
The SCCM client cache size determines the size of applications you can deploy during an OSD, and many are wondering how to increase SCCM client cache size.

What is SCCM Client Cache?
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager client has a dedicated disk space for storing temporary files when it installs apps and programs.
These temp files store the client cache files. Whenever you deploy any app, the temp files are copied and transferred to the CCMcache folder located inC:\Windows\ccmcache
Furthermore, the SCCM client cache determines the size of applications to deploy during an OSD. If the app is larger than the client’s cache size, it will fail because the client is not big enough to cache the application installation files. However, you can configure the client cache settings.
Also, the default SCCM client cache maximum size is 5120 MB if you do not set the property while installing the SCCM Client. Likewise, the minimum value you can specify is 1 MB. You can set the maximum size in megabytes (MB), or the percentage of the disk.
How can I increase SCCM Client cache size?
1. Create new client settings
The client will use the new client settings on the next SCCM server logon.
2. Modify SCCM client cache size via PowerShell scripts
The above commands will modify the client cache size, allowing you to input whichever MB you want to increase it to.
After following these steps, you should be able to increase SCCM client cache size with ease.
3. Change the client cache size on a single machine
Modifying the client cache size for a single machine will be deployed automatically compared to a custom client that undergoes a deployment process.
As you can see, it’s pretty simple to increase SCCM client cache size, and we hope you found this guide helpful.
