One distribution point serve mulitple domains.

Hi,
In my environment we have a CAS with 3 primary site servers. Each site server is under a different child domain. At one of our locations, we have servers from all 3 sites. I'd like to have only one DP for content, but would like to know if the DP will
be able to serve content to servers across the other two domains or would those servers only be able to communicate with a DP that is in the same domain.
I plan to do manual site assignment through the client push and then have one boundary for content location.
Thanks
Brian

"In my environment we have a CAS with 3 primary site servers."
Yuck, too late to change now, but this is totally not necessary.
To answer your question, DP location and use has *nothing* to do with domains which is why having a site per domain is not needed in any way and is generally a bad thing to do. To put it even more generally, ConfigMgr does not care about domains, forests,
or trusts for most of its operations so to base your site design on your domains is not a good thing.
Your limitation isn't with domains, it's with your sites. Clients can roam to other sites and use DPs from those other sites, but that implies that they would also use the MP from the other site which in turn is responsible for providing DPs to a client.
An MP will only provide a list of DPs for its own site. Thus, no, it's not possible with your configuration.

  • SCCM 2012 Distribution Point server in a workgroup as well as the clients

    HI, 
    It is possible to have a distribution point set up by SCCM 2012 R2 which resides in a workgroup to manage workgroup users.
    Basically, SCCM 2012 R2 is setup within a domain and a forest, The clients in the workgroup resides in a DMZ. The server in the DMZ is also within the workgroup. 
    For some reasons, at this time, it is not possible to add the server to the Active Directory to push it the distribution point role and therefore managing thoses clients within the workgroup. 
    Is there a way to set up the distribution point role to a server in a workgroup?
    Thank you

  • Distribution Point on a Domain Controller?

    Hi all,
    I'm pretty new at SCCM and I'm having issues on a new DP on a DC.  We're running SCCM 2012 and the DC is a 2008R2 DC.  Whenever I try to install the DP role, I get an error saying "Distribution manager failed to connect to the distribution point.
     Check your firewall settings".  Another role when trying to send packages, I get the same error plus an error saying it can't find an NTFS drive or the drive may not have enough space. The drive does have enough space. I tried adding our site
    servers to the top level of our domain with full access, added the sccm server to the domain admin group, but no luck. Any ideas? 

    When you add a computer account to a security group you have to reboot the computer in order for the new permissions to be applied. That is why it is now working.
    Using DCs as DPs is not a great idea but I have several customers that have them, on remote single-server sites.

  • Is there a way of making one portal instance serve several domain names ?

    We have one Portal instance (3.0.8) that contains one Intranet, one Extranet and 5 Internet sites (Page hierarchies). After redirecting calls to the diffrent domains (sites) to their corresponding Portal page in the webserver, the URL reveals that we are actually running all these sites on the same Portal domain. I know that we can change the Portal domain by running the ssodatan script, but is it possible to have one portal instance work for several Portal domains ? I realise that this is probably far fetched, but I just had to ask... This will not create a big problem for us, it's mostly an esthetical issue.
    Morten

    Yes you can do this.
    Your machine must have multiple IPs with a different name associated with each IP.
    Look at the ssodatax scripts. This script allows you to make additional entries into the login server repository to register new names with the login server.
    Add each name using the ssodatax script and you will be fine.

  • ConfigMgr 2012 R2 Distribution Point IIS no directories created

    I have an issue where I removed the DP role from my Primary Site Server, and am unable to re-install it.
    Environment Server 2012 R2 all in one system (SQL, SSRS, and ConfigMgr installed locally).
    The logs state that BITS isn't installed, but I have removed and reinstalled it several times.  I have also changed the "Log On" account to verify that it isn't a permissions thing (I have since reverted the account to the default). 
    The process of creating the DP role allows for the ContentLib folder to be created on the drive, but the SMS_DP_PKG$, nor for the virtual folder creation in IIS.  Please help.
    From the logs:

    and IIS Web Services are installed on the Distribution Point Server.

    Hi,
    Please check Distmgr.log as Torsten said.
    Have you try to reboot the server after confirm all prerequisites has met?
    Could you distribute a content to the DP successfully?

  • Distribution Point migration status in CM12 console

    Hi,
    We are using sccm 2012 r2 cu2. we are in middle of migration.
    We have in sccm 2007 under secondary site server name assd1 it contain MP and DP role.
    Under ASSd1 server i was created one of the distribution point server and copied all the package to the new server assd2.
    I created this new distribution point last week.
    Today I gathered data from sccm 2007 to sccm2012.
    Previously I did the same almost 5 servers and after sccm2012 administration-->under site hierarchy--> shared distribution point it shows. after that i will migrate to sccm2012 DP
    but this server not showing. but when i saw migctrl.log i can see the log
     The DP assd2.xxx.org is eligible for upgrade 
    but not showing under administration-->under site hierarchy--> shared distribution 

    Issue got resolved..

  • Setup additional distribution point

    Hi all,
    Currently i have one SCCM server setup and it already has distribution point role installed. We have several branches with limited network bandwidth and file server for each of them.
    My question is, is it possible to add more than one distribution point to one SCCM server and assign them to related branch? I am considering to set the file server on each branch as additional distribution point on the master "SCCM" server. How
    can i achieve this?
    Thanks.

    It is not possible to add particular site system role in this case DP to multiple time for single server.
    However it is possible to setup upto 100 distribution point & 2000 branch distribution point per site. you may use your branch file servers as distribution point/branch distribution point. please refer below link for more information.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680869.aspx
    you may set these new distribution points/branch distribution point as protected one, so only client from particular branch/remote office can access it.

  • 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′”

    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

    $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 "<=" }

    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

    $PkgLibList = (Get-ChildItem $PkgLibPath | Select -ExpandProperty Name | Sort-Object)
    $PkgLibList = ($PKgLibList | ForEach-Object {$_.replace('.INI',"")})

    $PksinContentLibButNotWMI = Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $PKgLibList -DifferenceObject $WMIPkgList -PassThru | Where-Object { $_.SideIndicator -eq "<=" }

    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

  • SCCM 2012 Distribution Point in workgroup

    I am trying to install a SCCM 2012 SP1 DP on a Windows 2008 workgroup server.
    Some parts are working but during installation I get errors....
    The question is: is it supported what I am trying to do, a workgroup (not part of a domain) server using as DP in SCCM 2012 SP1 ?

    Distribution Points must be domain members
    http://eskonr.com/2013/08/sccm-configmgr-2012-manage-workgroup-computers-for-deploymentremote-tools-etc/
    You can manage workgroup clients though.

    However, when I look under the Distribution Point Group Status, I see my DP group ("All DPs"), showing 20 members, but an Overall Distribution Status of "Error".  The pie chart for that group shows package status as Success: 106
    / In Progress: 0 / Failed: 163.  The pie chart for "Distribution Point Group Status" for the "All DPs" group shows the colors appropriate to these (incorrect) numbers.  If I click the "View Status" link next to the pie
    chart, the different tabs (Success, In Progress, Error, Unknown) show:
    Successfully distributed content:  20  (269 Content Items)  (last status time: today)
    Successfully processed content on distribution point:  19  (263 Content Items)  (last status time: yesterday)
    Nothing in the In Progress, Error, or Unknown tabs.
    So my question...  Why is my Distribution Point Group Status showing the group with 163 Failures, but all Distribution Points showing 100% success on all packages?  Is there a bug that causes the Distribution Point Group Status to not update? 
    I've restarted the server a couple of times, and still no change.

    Hello all together!
    I've the same issue in my SCCM R2 environment.
    Has everybody an idea, how to correct this issue?
    Thanks for your reply.

  • 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...

  • Distribution point - question

    Hi
    1. Is there a way I can control the bandwith between 2 sites regarding the distirbution point syncronization
    Requirement:
    Pirmary Site --> Send packages to standard distribution point (server DP)  "Link is 3  mb bandwith" and I want to limit 50kb the transfer.  
    Workstation afftectd in the remote location 100
    2. What is you recommend for type of DP to be used  (standard DP or secondary site with DP)
    Please advise
    Robert

    Hi
    You can go to Site Database --> Site Setting(of the primary Site) --> Go to addresses properties of the address you created there is a tab of rate limit you can punch in the rate at what you want the data transfer to be.
    This can only be done for site to site communication.
    In your case Primary site to secondary site.
    Better you replicate package in out of office hours, rather then throtling the bandwidth to certain limit.
    3MB bandwidth is not a too good bandwidth for 100 clients where package size is large. Monthly patching package will be minimum of 200 MB size for Security updates itself. I suggest you should go for secondary site with DP role created which will also help
    in data transfer(rrporting data) collectively to primary site via Proxy management point role. Also for patching install WSUS console your secondary site Install SUP role then you need to configure it as Active SUP and configure it to sync from upstream
    server that will be your Primary site to get the patch information.
    Kindly mark this as Answere or helpfull as suitable to you so other can take advantage of similar situation
    Based on the question, there are no secondary sites thus most of your answer does not apply to whats been asked and is thus not helpful.
