OSD: "waiting for prestaged content"

Hi,
We have 2 distribution points: the SCCM-server itself (DP1) and another windows 2008 server (DP2).
None of both have "Enable this distribution point for prestaged content" enabled.
Now when we check the content status, we see some packages are on status "In progress" and the message is "Distribution Manager is waiting for package xxx content to be prestated on the distributin point DP2 .... You must manually prestage the
package ....
Distribution Point Configuration status shows 5 packages "Waiting for prestaged content".
We do not need this prestaged content on DP1 or DP2, please advise.

Enabling the prestaging option on a DP will tell the DP to not receive content automatically. It is waiting until an administrator copied *.pkgx files manually to it and registers them using extractcontent.exe. That might be useful for DPs at the end of
very small WAN links.
I've never seen that happening without the option being enabled though.

Locked SCCM Client Package waiting for prestaged content, Cant use Client Push

Hi there,
I am having an issue with client push. When initiated the client is unable to find the client install package on the DP. The CCMSETUP log file on the client reads "MP xxxxx.xxx.com didnt return DP locations for client package with the expected
version". This could be caused by a boundry issue but the boundry information is set up correctly, and published into AD.
The SCCM Client on the site server is not getting replicated properly to the DP's that we have setup and I think that this is causing the issue. The reason why its not gettiog to the DP is due to this error: "Distribution Manager is waiting for Package SG100001
content to be prestaged on the distribution point" when we look at the content status of the SCCM client Package.
We are unable to change the prestaged distribution point settings "automatic" as the package is the locked as its the SCCM client installation package and its waiting for us to prestage it on the DP. I have tried prestaging it, but it didnt
work
Any ideas as I have been stuck for two days on this now...
Thanks in advanced.
George

Torsten you were right, The solution was as follows for anyone else having the same issue.
As soon as you create a DP it appears that the client installation package automatically tries to distribute to the DP. If you created the DP as "Enabled for Prestage" while doing the setup then the SCCM client package will just wait for you to
copy it manually. To reslove this I had to remove the "Enabled for Prestage Content" from the DP then go into the SCCM client Package, content location tab, select the DP and redistribute the package to the DP.
Checking the Distribution Manager and PkgXferMgr.log assisted me in monitoring the content transfer to the new location.
Thanks for your assistance.
George
George, I too concur that this fixed the issue.
I had the same problem with my SCCM 2012 R2 CU4, where i updated the distribution point for the Configuration Manager Client Package. Thanks a million!

Problem with option: enable this distribution point for prestaged content

Hi, for past few days I have been focused on application deployment with SCCM 2012 R2 (I am learning SCCM 2012 R2 reading books, watching video trainings . . .). Having followed allong book Mastering System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager I also did
deployment of Microsoft Office 2013, Adobe Reader 11, Foxit Reader 4.2 and Notepad ++ to test collection containing one Windows 7 computer. In one of examples prestaged content file is created for Foxit Reader application. In order to do so, if I am
right, option Enable this distribution point for prestaged content
has to be checked on distribution point and I did that.
Problem is that I noticed deployment of any application to test collection failed every time - system waits for prestaged content file if this option is selected. Then I have to delete deployment of given application, application itself, deselect option
Enable this distribution point for prestaged content and create app, distribute it to DP and deploy to test collection - then everything works well.
To make things worse, having deselect option Enable this distribution point for prestaged content (I did it yesterday and I checked that several times) this morning I checked again and this option is selected again. What might be the cause
of this behaviour? I expected this option to be deselected - this is weird to say at least.

When you enable the option "Enable this distribution
point for prestaged content" on a DP, it causes newly created applications/packages to default to "Manually copy the content in this package to the distribution point"... This would then cause the deployments on the clients to remain
at 'waiting for content' - unless if you manually prestage the content, as this option requires it.
If you enable the option "Enable this distribution
point for prestaged content" on the DP, but want to automatically have CM distribute the content, then configure the app/package to do so,
before distributing the content: Distribution Settings tab > Prestaged distribution point settings > Automatically download content when packages are assign to distribution points.

Thanks for the reply to my question regarding sound in iMovie and sending me the online links. however the online links are impossible to play as they upload too slowly with the result that the playing keeps stopping waiting for the content to catch up

Thanks for your reply to my question regarding sound in iMovie. However I cannot follow the links you sent as they upload too slowly and therefore the instructional movie keeps stopping waiting for the content toload. Surely theremust be a solution for this??
Thanks in advance

Prestaged Content and new Content Versions

I have a question concerning prestaged content in an SCCM 2012 R2 Environment. I have created several prestaged content files of some very large Applikations and Software Update Packages. In the meanwhile some of the Software Update Packages
have a new Content Version, because some expired Updates where removed from the Package.
So, if I now extract those Update Packages on a Distribution Point, the Content is not getting registrated as successfully distributed in the Content Monitoring Workspace, because the Content Version has increased in the meantime. I can
see that after Content is extracted successfully, the success Status Message is send to the Site Server, but the status stays on waiting for prestaged content.
I can’t sent a new USB Stick with the newer Version of those files to those offices and I can’t send the whole new Package via WAN to those office. I there a way to only create something like a delta prestaged content file or send only
the delta via WAN to those distribution point ?

See scenario #3 here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrdogs/archive/2015/03/11/different-scenarios-for-using-prestaged-content.aspx

Prestage content no longer working after SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 update

I run SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 on a Windows 2008 R2 server.
I upgraded to CU1 in June, and today is the first time I've attempted to pre-stage a package since then. After pre-staging my package and getting the content out to the target DP, I went to properties of the DP, checked the box "Enable this
distribution point for prestage content", then hit Ok.
Next I went to distribute the content to the DP, however after going thru the wizard, nothing changes. There is no pending status, waiting on prestage content, that I had seen in the past when doing this task. I can go in and run the wizard
again, and the target DP shows up in the list, like I'd never initiated the push before.
Normal (non-prestaged) distributions work fine.
In troubleshooting this, I also noticed that I looking at the site status of the target DP, there are no status message entries for since I upgraded to CU1 (for that matter, none of my DP's have any entries since CU1). I did see a similar issue like
this in the forums
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9491c2b1-37e6-46e3-9bb0-c5d673490d8a/component-status-not-updating-since-upgrade-from-sccm2012-sp1-cu3-to-sccm2012-r2?forum=configmanagergeneral but I don't have a backed up stat.mgr\retry inbox, it's empty.
I think this is related to why I can no longer prestage content, but I can't seem to find a reason for it. The fixes for R2 CU2 don't mention my issue here either
Anyone else seeing this?
Tony

Hi,
Please check SmsAdminUI.log and Smsprov.log after you distribute the content to the DP.

Prestaging Content on Pull DP temporarily

Hi,
I've read below in the MS documentation that a Pull DP configured for Prestaged Content does not Pull from a source DP:
The allow prestaged content configuration for a distribution point overrides the pull-distribution point
configuration. A pull-distribution point that is configured for prestaged content waits for the content. It does not pull content from source distribution point, and, like a standard distribution point that has the prestage content configuration, does not
receive content from the site server.
My question is: Once I have prestaged my content onto the Pull DP can I remove the checkbox that enables the Pull DP for Prestaged Content and have the Pull DP revert back to pulling packages from its designated source DPs?
In other words, once a Pull DP is selected for Prestaged Content, and the prestaged content has been distributed, can the Pull DP's configuration be reversed by unchecking the Allow Prestaged Content checkbox? Does this allow the Pull DP to return to normal
Pull DP activities by pulling packages over the network from its Source DPs?
Thanks!
Grant

Thank you Torsten. One quick follow-on question:
I've read this in the docs as well:
When the distribution point is configured as a pull-distribution point, do not enable the distribution
point for prestaged content. The
prestage content configuration for a distribution point overrides the pull-distribution point configuration. A pull-distribution point that is configured
for prestaged content does not pull content from source distribution point and does not receive content from the site server.
Just wanted to be sure that this also means that if we deploy a large number of Pull DPs, and then check the box to allow Prestaged content, then import our content, then uncheck the box enabling Prestaged Content that the Pull DPs will go back to acting
normally and pulling from their Source DPs.
Thanks again,
Grant

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.

Error while Creating Prestage Content File for Application in SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I am using SCCM 2012 SP1 on Win 2K8 SP R2 box. Database is SQL 2008 R2 SP1 CU6. I have trying to create Prestaged content for Applications for extracting pkgx files on DP's. I am getting the below error message for random applications(not for all applications
but for random applications).
Content that will be included into the prestaged content file (1):
Citrix Receiver 13.3.0.55
Export all dependencies: 'Yes'
Selected distribution points: 'MPSERVER.GS.WORLD.PRESS.COM'
Prestaged content file: 'G:\pkgxfiles\Application\Citrix Receiver 13.3.0.55.pkgx'
　Error: Distribution is currently in progress for selected packages: HM0000D9. Please wait and try again
But if I see this application is successfully distributed to 2 of the distributions points long ago. If I reupdate the Distribution point and then again try to create prestaged content for this application then pkgx file for that application is getting
created.
Why this is happening and how can I resolve this?
Thanks & Regards Uttam

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

10035 Waiting for Content Error?

Hey guys was hoping for some help. Running SCCM 2012 R2 on SQL 2008 R2 CU6. I've been running SCCM since SMS 2003 so I'm not a total noob with it. It started with running 2012 (no SP1), it just broke out of nowhere. and stopped working.
I needed to fire off some Flash/Java updates so I loaded up my .bat files and deployed to my test environment. Every single client was stuck in Not Applicable/10035/Waiting For Content and would not move. I did my research and noticed several
hotfixes, SP1 for SCCM 2012, R2, SQL updates so I just decided to build up a new VM with the above new configuration and to my surprise the same error is still present to my test environment. Every single client, endpoint AV, everything connected with
the new server as I set configuration. Everything worked, clients all updated automatically to R2 CCM Version, no more critical component status, everything is butter except deploying applications. I have been running my .bat scripts for years
that I roll out to our clients to update flash. I know it's probably not the "correct" way of doing it but it's worked flawless for along time now. I can't really figure this out as logs are not showing any errors? I see the hotfixes
for my issue, but they don't apply to SCCM R2, just regular and SP1. Thanks for the help guys.

Wait for content thumbnails to refresh listener. How?

Hi
On Bridge CS6 I have some action (any action...) to run over a group of image thumbnails but, when I select a folder with images, Bridge build in first place the cache for the contents of that folder opened for the first time.
I want to make a condition to run my action IF the refresh is finished.
>> f refhesh is over >> run my action
>> and if not over wait until is really over
(I have also to think if the user selects another folder before my first action is over on the previous folder: may be could warn to wait...?? or queue it to run it next...)

I have realized that this event 'loaded' is called:
Once: when a folder is browsed for the first time getting new thumbnails (children). It is called after the built of all thumbnails, but before (and if) generating full previews;
Twice: when a folder was browsed before and is select again. In this case, the event is called at the moment that the folder is clicked and again a second time, after the built of all thumbnails, but before (and if) generating full previews;
This was a bit trouble to solve, but my aim was to call only once a function with this to behaviors every time I select or reselect a folder.
I have used setEnv to personalise a bollean variable with the name of the folder (in my case it never repeats). The function runs only once with each folder.

When opening a webpage, my browser stops downloading its content while waiting for an eternity at certain items, how can I filter them?

Because of the location where I live, most of google services are blocked on the internet. Yesterday I wanted to download a device driver from www.m-audio.com but the driver's page stopped loading. I noticed a message at the bottom left of the Firefox window saying "waiting for www.google.com" or something similar. Because of that wait, I could open the page only after 4 tries and waiting way too much time. Can I filter page contents from google so Firefox skips them?

You can look at Adblock Plus.

Waiting for content

Hello,
Security updates are deployed by deployment management. I see machiens which are under "Downloading Updates" are still in the same state for more number of days.
I have restarted the smsagent service and observed that it is still under same "waiting for content" state in SCCM Client Center->Running Executions -> SMS/SCCM Jobs.
Please let me know how this can be resolved.
Regards,
Boopathi S

I would check DP are ok and updated on the site where machine looking for a content and its IIS logs for any error ?
Since its for patching did you checked your CBS store that its not corrupted etc.. the path is \\xxxx\c$\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.LOG and you can see the error if its corrupted and it may get resolved by a system restore to a previous working state. i
haven't tried this restore as my machines are not having that option as its customized while doing build image.
I would just test on one machine with the above steps and will see how it goes and decide future course of action for it.

Client machines waiting for content

Hi - I have deployed a couple of applications that never seem to deploy to clients
This does not happen with every application so I don't think its a problem with connectivity / communications anywhere.
My clients are pointing to the correct management points and site.
Application content has been successfully distributed to my distribution points
My Distribution Settings tab on the package is set to "Distribute the content for this package to refereed DP's" and to "Automatically download content when packages are assigned to DP's"
My Content Locations tab on the package has the correct distribution point
Distribution types content tab has the correct content location and deployment options is set to "Download content from DP's and run locally"
Distribution types Programs tab has the correct installation / uninstall parameters
Distribution types Detection Method is set
Distribution types user experience set to install for system and installation probably hidden. I have tried with different logon requirements and still get no where
Deployments Properties content shows the right DP
Deployment Properties Deployment Settings action Install and Purpose Required. Also checked is allow clients on a metered internet connection
Deployment scheduling based on client local time
Deployments User Experience set to display in software center and show all notifications
Commit changes at deadline or during maintenance window is set
Alerts is set to create a deployment alert when the threshold is higher than 0
Content is distributed and deployed to a valid machine collection with valid machines pointing to the right site
Monitoring > Deployments shows waiting for content
I can manually install the apps OK.

Please check the client log files for more information. For example log files like
execmgr.log, LocationServices.log and CAS.log.

Distribution point waiting for content

Hi all,
I have a problem with my secondary site distribution point where the applications don't seem to be replicating. I installed the role weeks ago and the applications are still sat on waiting for content. There are a lot of questions regarding this error but
they appear to relate to clients and not the DP itself. I have been over the config here
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/cnackers/archive/2010/09/20/configuration-manager-configuring-server-2008-r2-for-site-systems.aspx and completed that, but it's been 24 hours since then and the DP is still sat on waiting for content. Any help would
be much appreciated.

The most effective way to troubleshoot the issue is to check the log files distmgr.log, PkgXferMgr.log and MSDPPRov.log at the remote distribution point.
