When set, the Group ][added: Entra ]ID [removed: will be assigned automatically from the selected source. This policy is ignored if the GroupID policy is also set. The options set in this policy only apply to Group (2) download mode. If Group (2) isn't set as Download mode, this policy will be ignored. For option 3 - DHCP Option ID, the client will query DHCP Option ][added: Tenant ]ID[removed: 234 and use the returned GUID value as the Group ID.]

Specifies the maximum background download bandwidth in KiloBytes/second that the device can use across all concurrent download activities using Delivery Optimization.[removed: The default value 0 (zero) means that Delivery Optimization dynamically adjusts to use the available bandwidth for downloads. ]

Specifies the maximum time in seconds that each file is held in the Delivery Optimization cache after downloading successfully.[removed: The value 0 (zero) means "unlimited"; Delivery Optimization will hold the files in the cache longer and make the files available for uploads to other devices, as long as the cache size has not exceeded.]

Specifies the maximum cache size that Delivery Optimization [removed: uses][added: can utilize,] as a percentage of [added: the ]available [removed: disk size (1-100).][added: drive space.]

Specifies the maximum foreground download bandwidth in KiloBytes/second that the device can use across all concurrent download activities using Delivery Optimization.[removed: The default value 0 (zero) means that Delivery Optimization dynamically adjusts to use the available bandwidth for downloads. ]

Specifies the minimum download QoS (Quality of [removed: Service or speed)][added: Service) in KiloBytes/sec] for background [removed: downloads in KiloBytes/second. This policy affects the blending of peer and HTTP sources. Delivery Optimization complements the download from HTTP source to achieve the specified minimum QoS value.][added: downloads.]

[removed: Specify any value between 1 and 100 (in percentage) to allow ][added: Specifies ]the [removed: device to upload data to LAN and Group peers while on DC power (Battery). The recommended value ][added: minimum battery level required for uploading ]to [removed: set if you allow uploads on battery is 40 (for 40%). The device can download from peers ][added: peers, ]while on battery [removed: regardless of this policy. The value 0 means "not-limited"; The cloud service set default value will be used.][added: power.]

Specifies the required minimum [added: total ]disk size [removed: (capacity ]in [removed: GB)][added: GB] for the device to use [removed: Peer Caching. The cloud service set default value will be used. Recommended values: 64 GB to 256 GB. Note: If the DOModifyCacheDrive policy is set, the disk size check will apply to the new working directory specified by this policy.][added: P2P.]
