Content fails on a distribution point

Hi all,
We have a distribution point located in China that continues to fail receiving content. Can some one guide me the best approach to identify and hopefully resolve this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Error 0x80070002 when Task Apply OS has "Access content directly from the distribution point" checked

When I check "Access content directly from the distribution point" for the "Apply Operating System" task in my OSD Task Sequence, I get the failed error 0x80070002 at the step when running the sequence from WinPE.
If I uncheck it, I don't get that error or have any problems.
I've ensured that in the properties of my OS Image in the Data Access that "Copy the content in this package to a package share on distribution points" is checked, and that I Updated DPs.
Am I missing any other settings?
The reason I'm trying to do this is because the "Download" speed of the WIM is incredibly slow. I already installed a hotfix (KB2905002) that fixed this for my Dell systems, but it's not speeding it up for another computer model I'm imaging in
the same way. The Dell computers, after I installed the server hotfix, will downloading the .wim file at 1% per second. However the HP thin clients I'm imaging download at about 1% every 15 seconds, and I'm not sure if that's due to their hardware or what.

Hi,
The error means file not found. So you need to check the smsts.log to see which DP it is accessing, then go to that DP to check the Shared Folder smspkg to make sure the file is there.
For the download performance issue, there are various reasons. You need to check your Switch bandiwidth and if the NIC driver is up to date. If downloading locally is slow, Accessing directly could be slow too.

Content Validation Issue on Distribution Points

Hi all,
I am currently running SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 with Single Primary Site Server and Several remote Distribution Points serving Windows Updates, Software and Images.
This has been bothering me for a while now and I can not figure it out…. Two of my distribution points are not completing their content validation. They begin the process as scheduled
but about 2-5 packages in, they get hung up on an old package that does not exist anymore and then start the process over, validating the same 2 packages over and over. I have ran a few scripts to check WMI for this package and it is definitely not there.
It is not present in the Content Library either.
Simple query for to check WMI for the package on the DP:
gwmi -Namespace rootsccmdp -Query “select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib where PackageID = ‘XXX001AE′”
Here is a snip of the smsdpmon.log

Anyone have any idea why it is still trying to validate this old package?
Thanks

Thanks for the replies,
Here is some extra information on what I have tried.
I have run the Bart Serneels script which did seem to clean some things up on the other servers. Did NOT fix the issue on these ones however.
I have also ran these two scripts that compare the content on the DP itself.
This one Compares Content Librrary with WMI and deletes the package INI if needed.
cls
$WMIPkgList = Get-WmiObject -Namespace Root\SCCMDP -Class SMS_PackagesInContLib | Select -ExpandProperty PackageID | Sort-Object
$ContentLib = (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP).ContentLibraryPath
$PkgLibPath = ($ContentLib) + '\PkgLib'
$PkgLibList = (Get-ChildItem $PkgLibPath | Select -ExpandProperty Name | Sort-Object)
$PkgLibList = ($PKgLibList | ForEach-Object {$_.replace('.INI',"")})
$PksinWMIButNotContentLib = Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $PKgLibList -DifferenceObject $WMIPkgList -PassThru | Where-Object { $_.SideIndicator -eq "=>" }
$PksinContentLibButNotWMI = Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $PKgLibList -DifferenceObject $WMIPkgList -PassThru | Where-Object { $_.SideIndicator -eq "<=" }
##Write-Host Items in WMI but not the Content Library
##Write-Host ========================================
##$PksinWMIButNotContentLib

Write-Host Delete .INI´s in PkgLib not in WMI
Foreach ($PkgLIB in $PksinContentLibButNotWMI){
Remove-Item -Path "$PkgLibPath\$PkgLIB.INI" -Confirm
This one Compares WMI to the Content Library and delete the package from WMI.
cls
$WMIPkgList = Get-WmiObject -Namespace Root\SCCMDP -Class SMS_PackagesInContLib | Select -ExpandProperty PackageID | Sort-Object
$ContentLib = (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP).ContentLibraryPath
$PkgLibPath = ($ContentLib) + '\PkgLib'

Foreach ($Pkg in $PksinWMIButNotContentLib){
Get-WmiObject -Namespace Root\SCCMDP -Class SMS_PackagesInContLib -Filter "PackageID = '$Pkg'" | Remove-WmiObject -Confirm
Neither of them return any information about left over packages.
If I must, I may uninstall the DP role on these servers and reinstall it, one of them in also my "Application Catalog Server". Will re-installing the DP on this server cause any major issues?
Thanks

[SOLVED] - Create Boot Media to Retrieve Content from a Specific Distribution Point Regardless of Boundary/Boundary Group?

I think I'm a little confused because maybe I missed something somewhere.
I'd like to create bootable meda that would pull the content from a specific DP no matter where the device was physically. So if the machine is in Boundary A/B/C within Boundary Group group A/B/C, that media should
always pull from Distribution Point 'F'.
During the task sequence media creation process, on the 'Boot Image' page, you're asked to select a distribution point so I believed that was all I needed to do. But even though I selected a specific DP, DP F, when creating the media,
during the operating system deployment task sequence, I saw it was pulling the image from another DP; a remote DP for that matter. Imaging over the WAN is not ideal!
I double checked the Boundaries and with the exception of 1 overarching boundary, there were no other overlapping Boundaries. I then checked the Boundary Groups to confirm the Boundaries were associated with the correct Boundary Group (e.g.: all IP's
at site A are in Boundary Group A) and that the correct site system server had been specified for each Boundary Group.
Why the overarching overlap? I wanted to cover scenarios where a local DP had not yet been stood up or simply didn't exist. We frequently stand up several ad-hoc small 'offices' of just 1-3 people with bare-bones infrastructure. I
wanted them to fall back to HQ if they needed anything versus configuring separate Boundaries for each one as the ranges vary each time.
First question is, am I doing something wrong or is this just not possible?
Second, HQ is a fallback source location for content, and that's where this particular system was pulling content from. If the DP I specified during the TS Media creation is missing content, how can I confirm this and validate that the client was directed
to the fallback source which is HQ?

That cannot be done. DPs will be determined dynamically. The DP used in the wizard is for downloading the content just for creating the media.

Oh man - thank you for clearing that up. Sheesh I was thinking about that the wrong way.

Failed to Update Distribution Point

I have an interesting issue with distribution point updating a deployment package. I have ADRs that run for AV definition updates. The rules run, add to an existing deployment package and update distribution points. This works great for
about a month at a time. After that, I have to delete the package and recreate it. I can try to update DPs, use Powershell to update, remove all DPs and add them again as if it were a new distribution, but none of those work. Does anyone
else experience this or have seen it in the past? The error I'm getting is the 80070003 in Package Transfer Manager. Note, this happens every 4-5 weeks and I've experienced it now for the 3rd time. Thanks in advance.
Best, Jacob I'm a PC.

0x80070003 = "The system cannot find the path specified."
Make sure your deployment package where you download definitions is configured properly and accessible.
Is the source folder of the package on shared storage or saved locally on SCCM server?
What release of CM12 are you on?
I would also recommend looking at A/V exclusions for SCCM server:

Failed to retreive the pacakge list on the distribution point...

I am slowly cleaning up some content mismatches among my distribution points after an R2 upgrade. I am down to my final 2 DPs, both of which are my only standalone DPs. Both servers report the same errors in smsdpmon.log:
Failed to evaluate package XYZ0013A, Error code 0x80070002
Failed to evaluate package XYZ0013B, Error code 0x80070002
I checked the following locations and these Package IDs are nowhere to be seen:
DP\SCCMContentLib\PkgLib - no matching INI files.
WMI - no matching records (gwmi -Namespace root\sccmdp -Query "select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib where PackageID = 'XYZ0013A")
SCCM Console - nothing listed.
Where else could these packages be recorded? They're obviously not in use anywhere.

Hi,
Do you have any errors in the distmgr.log and pkgxfermgr.log file on the site server?

Distribution Point Installation Fails

I'm trying to install a DP on a new server build using a template that's been used to build all other servers with no issues. However, the DP role fails to install. It has created the SCCMContentLib and SMS_DP$ folders, but not populated them
and trying to force content to the DP fails. All pre-req's around IIS, BITS, .NET are installed and the networking team have verified that all firewall ports required (445 & 135) are open. Windows Firewall is disabled on all servers.
The site server computer accounts are in the local admin group on the DP server and you can browse via UNC to any $ share on the DP server.
When viewing SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER alerts, I see:
2370 Distribution Manager failed to install distribution point ["Display=\\xxx.xxx.local\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=PR1"]\\xxx.xxx.local\ on computer xxx.xxx.LOCAL. Possible cause: Distribution Manager does not have sufficient rights to the
computer. Solution: Verify that the site server computer account is administrator of the computer.
2391 Distribution manager failed to connect to the distribution point ["Display=\\xxx.xxx.LOCAL\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=PR1"]\\xxx.xxx.LOCAL\. Check your network and firewall settings.

Sorry, missed that. Based on the log snippet, the access denied is on WMI though so you need to verify that and you need to verify that the computer account has permissions so you should test as that account (easily done with psexec:

"Enable distribution-point sharing for this source site" did not showing SCCM 2007 DPs as SCCM 2012 content shares for CM12 clients

Hi
We have one central site server and three primary site servers in SCCM 2007 and completed the SCCM 2012 migration as single hierarchy.
During the migration, We have configured SCCM 2007 Central site server as source hierarchy for data gathering process and configured the "Enable distribution-point sharing for this source site" to make SCCM 2007 distribution points
as SCCM 2012 content shares to serve SCCM 2012 migrated clients. Now we are facing a problem that one of the primary site server's data gathering process did not gather SCCM 2007 DPs even though we configured "Enable distribution-point sharing for this
source site" but data gathering process is completing successfully.
Is anyone have idea, why these SCCM 2007 DPs did not appearing as SCCM 2012 content shares under "Shared Distribution Points"
Thanks in Advance

Now we are facing a problem that one of the primary site server's data gathering process did not gather SCCM 2007 DPs even though we configured "Enable distribution-point sharing for this source
site" but data gathering process is completing successfully.
Earlier all the shared DPs are showing under Shared Distribution Points ? Or since starting itself these DPs are not showing down? Have you checked migmctrl.log for some clue?

Content Available on Distribution Points

Hi,
I would like to create a report for the content (packages, Image files, driver package, applications) available on Distribution Points in our environment.
If i go to the properties of Distribution Point -> content, it shows all the data available on DP.
Is there a way to export this to excel or any other SCCM report which provides all the details of the content available on DP.
Thanks

Torsten, Let me explain
If you go to Administration -> Distribution Points -> Properties -> Content
I could see all the content available on this distribution point
Now when i run the report All
content on a specific distribution point. This report shows the names of all the package/application etc. names available on this distribution point.
But in this report it shows names of applications/software which are not available on this and are not showing under the Content section of the distribution point.

Enable PreStaged content on a distribution point.

I would like to enable Prestaged content on two current distribution points that already have content on them. I am assuming after I enable them I will still be able to use the option to Automatically download content to the distribution without presaging
it? (When a distribution point is not configured for prestaged content the content is automatically set to download when the package is assigned to a distribution point?)
Also if I have some packages that are set to Manually copy content do a distribution point (I don't know why this was set since our distribution points were not enabled for prestaged content yet) will they still work?
Is there a way to query for packages that have the distribution settings set to Manually copy?

So essentially if "Enable this distribution point for prestaged content."
is not selected on a distribution point, the content behavior for all packages is "Automatically download content when packages are assigned to distribution
points"?
If "Enable this distribution point for prestaged content."
is selected on a distribution point, and the distribution settings for a package is set to "Download only content changes to the distribution point". Does
the first time the package get deployed it need to be prestaged or will it fully copy the content the first time and then just update the changes?
My distribution points are not really network resource constrained but I would like to be able update images and software update packages with just updated content. I won't necessarily ever need to prestage content.

Recovery Distribution Point

Hi All
I am busy with creating a recovery plan for our SCCM 2012 related servers
I have a question according to the recovery of a Distribution Point
Is it possible to do a full server recovery in case of a mayor issue (failed) of a server with the role distribution point (and is it supported).
If it is not supported (or possible) what is the best way of removing de failed distribution point from the SCCM environment
Step 1 : Remove failed Distribution Point from Boundary Group
Step 2 : Remove failed Distribution Point from Distribution Point Group
Step 3: How to remove the entries of the failed Distribution Point from the SCCM Console (SCCM environment) , I think the failed Distribution Point cannot be removed from the Console (Remove Rol Distribution Point will not work anymore I think).
I hope someone can help me with completing the steps
Regards,
Johan

A full server backup and restore of a DP site system would be OK, but you would need to ensure that you either have content validation enabled or you re-distribute any changed content to that restored DP.
You can simply delete a failed (server down) distribution point site system, rather than trying to remove the distribution point role. You would need to re-provision that site system and re-send all of the content.

Migrate Secondary to Distribution Point - RTM

Hi,
quick question about a request made in my environment:
We have a huge number of useless secondaries (< 100 clients) over the infrastructure. I would like to change that and use Distribution Points instead of Secondaries.
What i'm looking to do is transform the secondary to a distribution point (easily / scripted).
2 blocking points:
- Server must remain the same and formating is not an option
- RTM Version of SCCM 2012 (doing this to prepare the update this summer and avoid migrating too many secondaries).
If not possible easily then the only option i see is to fetch the list of packages on the DP (All content on a specific distribution point) and create manually the prestage content for each package. But that would take so long that i want to avoid it.

You'll need to test -- as I never have explicitly -- but as long as the long sccmcontentlib folder remains in place and unchanged, a simple uninstall of the secondary and deployment of the DP role *should* (to my knowledge) re-utilize the content (this
isn't explicitly by design either, it's an artifact of the repair process so may not be esxplicitly supported, but it is just content after all). You'll of course have to reassign the content to the DP (which would be really easy if you're using DP groups
or could also be done with PowerShell).

SCCM 2012r2 - Remove "invisible" packages/applications from Distribution Point

Hello alltogether,
I've encountered the following issue:
Our distribution points are displaying applications/packages as "In Progress - Waiting for Prestage content".
These packages doesn't exist anymore. Neither as prestage file nor in the config manager itself. We never tried to apply this package by using a prestage file because such a file never existed.
Even if I open the "content" tab of one distribution point, I can't find these packages in there.
The exact status of this package is the following:
Message: Distribution Content
Message Detail: Distribution Manager instructed Package Transfer manager to send Package "x" to distribution point "y".
Status Type: In Progress
I want to remove these "ghost" packages from the Distribution Status overview. Anyone has a clue how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards
Feyh

Hello,
thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately no, there is no information about these files.
Yesterday we installed a new one, extracted all of our prestage files on it and watched the status. The Packages weren't listed in the "Distribution Point Configuration Status".
After some time we added the new DP to our general DP-group where all of our packages/applications are assigned to. Now the "non-existing" packages are added with the "in Progress" status.
I had a look into "Distribution Point groups -> Our group -> properties -> content" but these packages aren't displayed in the list. Some of the packages are now in the "waiting for prestage content" state, others are staying with the "Detail will
be available after the server finishes proccessing ...".
We managed to remove one of the packages by deleting it from the database.
The following statement removed it from the Distribution status overview. However, we still are able to find the package in the database.
select * from SMSPackageswhere PkgID = 'P100003B'
DELETE from SMSPackages
where PkgID = 'P100003B'
Apparently the delete-statement affected 72 rows. But we are having no clue which. As long as we are not sure we killed anything important we are not going to do this with the other packages because it's the productive system. We can't reproduce this in our
test system...

Deploying operating system and applications to branch distribution points

Dears,
Is there a way to distribute the content of an operating system image or an application package manually to a branch distribution point to overcome network bandwidth limitation and let SCCM know it is distributed there or you still need to distribute
content via SCCM console?
Regards,

You will always need to perform action via the console (or do something similar via PowerShell). I think the options of prestaging content, or a pull distribution point could be beneficial for you. Have a look here for more information:

Distribution manager failed to connect to the distribution point

After upgrading my distribution point to windows server 2012 standard I can't distribute content to my distribution point.
I see the following error.
source: SMS Server
Component: SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER
message id 2391
Distribution Manager failed to connect to the distribution point Check your network and firewall settings.
The firewall is not enabled.
wbemtest is able to connect to the remote server that has the distribution point role installed.
The network access account is working.
How do I fix this?

but why does it most of the time work? I did inplace upgrade at least 6 times from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 and every DP except one works fine.
I'm not completely sure, but I think, my faulty one, that I'm trying to get working, was working correctly after the inplace upgrade. But as I said, that is only a theory, I'm just curious if that's possible.
I have the same issue as described above.
