    Hi, @Muhammad Hussain
    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Here is the official documentation about branch cache deployment guide for Windows Server 2012:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/jj572990(v=ws.11)

    And the configuration for branch cache for clients:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-7/dd637820(v=ws.10)

    In addition to these steps, there is one requirement for WSUS to be able to use BranchCache in either operating mode: the WSUS server must be configured to download updates locally on the server to a shared folder. This way, you can select BranchCache publication for the share.

    Here is the overview:
