SCCM 2012 R2 & Pull Distribution Point Casuing 0 Byte amd64 folders

Experiencing an extremely frustrating problem.
ENVIRONMENT:
1 Primary Site Server / DP (Main Office)
40 DP's (Remote School Locations)
- Hosted on a file server VM
- Contains 3 partitions: C: (System), E: (Data), I: (PKG share)
OS: Server 2008 R2 (Primary Site Server and File Servers / DP's)
SCCM Version: SCCM 2012 R2
We recently upgrade to SCCM 2012 R2. I have confirmed that this has not caused the problem I am about to describe. The only other change that has occurred recently is that we configured all of our DP's at each of our 40 sites to be pull distribution points.
While this seems to be working fine we are now seeing a whole bunch of 0 Byte alpha numeric folders with a 0 Byte amd64 subfolder. These folders seem to attach to the E: drive on all of our File server distribution points....for the life of me I cannot figure
out why and this occurred as soon as we switched to pull distribution points. While this does not seem to be having an erroneous effect on our environment, it is annoying and somewhat disconcerting as I have not been able to ascertain what is causing it. Any
SCCM admins out their ever encountered this?
Thanks

Yes, I have examined the logs using cmtrace and done a search for the amd64 string to see if any of the logs indicate its creation as part of the pull dp process. I have not found anything as of yet.
Thanks

SCCM 2012: Reinstall remote distribution point?

Hi,
We have a remote distribution point to which we can't deploy packages anymore. Several attempts to repair it failed.
I'd like to remove the distribution point and reinstall it via SCCM 2012 console.
However, I'd like to know the impact since it contains GB of packages already.
Note: the DP has been removed for clients (temorarely) so no impatc there.
My questions:
-what is best practises: can I just remove and add it in 1 go (or need to wait before re-adding, reboot needed in between)?
-will all data be pulled in again (I activated pull and would reactivate it after reinstall)?
-what's your experience in this procedure? does it work in general or is it preferrable I continue troubleshooting the current situation?
Please advise.

I can see there was installed a new dotnet version C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
recently.
Can/should I register this to IIS?

SCCM 2012 cannot access distribution point as a data source for OS image

I am trying to path a data source to one of our file servers and get the following error:
I am guessing this is a permissions issue. The path is correct. This is also a distribution point and I have no trouble distributing content to it. The SCCM server is set to have local admin and network share rights to this file server. Any
ideas?

Of course - that would be too easy... had to ask though :)
Hmm, sounds odd. I'm guessing that since you're using it as a DP you're on Windows Server... You might try browsing there in your runline but instead of doing
\\server\share\OS.WIM try doing
\\Server.FQDN\Share\OS.WIM
I've seen some odd issues where I need to specify FQDN but it's pretty rare. I do remember an issue where my own account would not go through even though it had rights and I could navigate. I used a different account and I think after a while
it cleared up. My guess is something got rebooted and it "righted the ship" so-to-speak. I'm sorry I don't remember more, that particular client had multiple accounts so I just switched to a different one and by the time I had to do the same function
again the issues had resolved itself so I just moved on.

SCCM 2012 R2 Pull distribution fails on remote DPs

I have a few remote distribution points that I've been able to distribute driver packages to in the past, but after loading updates on my primary site server and the DPs, distribution of new driver packages fail even though it distributes fine to my primary
site server.
All DPs are in remote subnets connected via VPN.

Actually when you use pull DP that mean there will be a standard DP as source, where all the content will be downloading on pull DP from the source DP. so pull DPs should have good enough network from standard DP to pull DPs. and distributed content should
be available on source DP, otherwise content distribution will be failed.

SCCM 2012 - Pull distribution point and target PKI or HTTPS DPs

I have spent several days researching this and so far have found only a single page that even takes a stab at offering a solution.
Problem:
Trying to target an HTTPS DP when creating a pull distribution point in SCCM 2012 R2. The link that I'm referring to that does offer a workaround is here(guess I can't post a link, but it ends with the following, how-to-set-an-https-distribution-point-as-a-source-dp-for-pull-dps)
I have several problems with the proposed solution.
Is a script really the only way to proceed with something that has up till now been a built in feature with the rest of the product.
You have to provision the DP to use a self signed cert initially for it to even work, then supposedly you can add the private key to the DP later.
Does that mean I have to unbind the cert from both the pull and target/source push DP in IIS?
Powershell which would be a logical way to go, doesn't seem to make any head way(Mr. Snover I know you don't oversee configman but please push for more documentation, you've taught me to live and die by get-help. A single example for a command as large
as set-cmdistributionpoint or add-cmdistributionpoint is a shame. Perhaps my update help just didn't finish properly and I'm talking prematurely. If that is the case then I apologize!)
Is there no other solution other than build the DP with a self signed cert then run this VB script and then switch the private key later? I have read through a lot of the pull DP documentation and it makes mention of leveraging the SDK but I haven't seen
anything definitive. I would like to at the very least convert this from VB to powershell(if that script is the only option) and I know how to convert the portions where it's interacting with the site's WMI namespace (smsprovider if I'm not mistaken).
What I don't know how to do, rather don't have the chops for is what comes after. The site control file piece, I see it's also WMI and I could spend the time stepping through the different piece and just might to learn more about SCCM in the lab anyhow. I've
spent the last year getting to know powershell and have spent next to no time with VB. I know enough to recognize what a script is doing.
The environment:
The reason this is important for me is I'm about to start the production build(been all lab up till now) that is going to have just under 300 DPs in the field connected via T1 lines. They were all 07 secondary sites. I was thinking about migrating them using
the migration tool but considering the amount of work its going to take if that link is the ONLY path to target a HTTPS DP then I might as well just spend the time and manually uninstall and reinstall the field DPs. The client count in the field is an average
of 50 machines per site where there are on-prem devices... Total client count is around 25k. The primary site in the datacenter will house the majority of the site roles unless I start running into resource issues, at which time I will begin offloading site
roles to one of two more servers that I have slated for the project. No CAS, no Secondaries. SQL is co-located on the primary.
Ramblings:
I'm sure there are more people out there using PKI, and using pull DPs. How have you managed to target your HTTPS enabled DPs? Security wants this to be a HTTPS only environment, and up until now I have successfully done that. If someone could please point
me in the direction of some more thorough documentation I would be very grateful. I understand that this is a somewhat new feature, but there has to be an easier way. Perhaps powershell can cleanly do it with the set-cmdistribution point...but when I update
help and do showwindow for the command I only get one example and so far haven't found any other stories like mine with the exception of the link I posted in the beginning.
While I'm rambling, Wally there are a lot of us in the community that are going to miss your presence at Microsoft and should you read this I wish you luck with your new position. But that is a whole different topic. Thanks in advance for any links or help
you can provide. -K.R.

Yes, this is the only way, from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712321.aspx#BKMK_PlanPullDps: "However, you can use the Configuration Manager SDK to specify a source distribution point that is configured for HTTPS. To use a source distribution point that is configured
for HTTPS, the pull-distribution point must be co-located on a computer that runs the Configuration Manager client. "
Does "why" really matter , who cares? It just is. Whether it was an oversight, a coding bug, or an act of God doesn't change anything. Why does there "have to be" an easier way? And what's wrong with using the VBScripts others have
written? A script is a script is a script particularly if you've been given it already. Just because the hammer is pink doesn't mean it can't hammer the nail in.

Pull Distribution Point Requirements (BITS?)

We have recently migrated to all SCCM 2012 infrastructure. All of our recent deployments are Server 2012 but we have a lot of Server 2008 R2 64bit. There is a lot of documentation online and some say BITS is required for DPs and some say not. Our packages
have been struggling to reach our DPs and Pull DPs. Does anyone have any opinion if BITS should be installed on DPs or Pull DPs. I know I have read that BITS is not required on Server 2012 however it states nothing about Server 2008 R2 64bit. Any opinion or
experience would be helpful.

Nothing specific to Pull DP...
Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_Win2k12SiteSystemPrereqs
With System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, the distribution point site system role does not require Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS). When BITS is configured on the distribution point computer, BITS on the distribution point computer is
not used to facilitate the download of content by clients that use BITS
A pull-distribution point is considered to be a client when it accesses another distribution point to obtain content.

Pull Distribution Points - Any views?

We are about to embark on a project to upgrade to 2012. We have a lot of branch locations (>250 and rising) and traditionally these locations hosted secondary sites. What is currently being proposed is to have a primary with two secondary sites under
that and an even distribution of DPs underneath the secondaries in place of the old 2007 secondary sites. The purpose of the secondary sites in this instance is to alleviate the 250 DP limit load per site.
With SP1, there are pull DPs that might be an alternative to this approach, allowing us to do away with the secondary sites. If this were the case I'd probably look at having three standard DPs coming off the primary and the pull DPs set to get their content
from these 'randomly'. I put the word in inverted commas, as according to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/gg712321.aspx:
If there are multiple source distribution points with the same priority, the pull-distribution point nondeterministically selects one
of the source distribution points that share that priority.
What is meant by nondeterministically?
One assumes this would mean randomly but is this the case? Has anyone got any experience of this and pull DPs in general? Do they work as well as traditional DPs? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Non-deterministically can be equate to random. It effectively means there's no (publically) defined way that they choose.
There is no difference between a PullDP and a normal DP from the client's perspective -- they have no way to know the difference and no reason to know the difference because they are in fact the same as far as making content available to clients.
The only actual difference with Pull DPs is how they acquire their own content. PullDPs use BITS and use the same logic (and code even to my knowledge) that clients themselves do (they don't require the actual client agent though). There have been a lot
of improvements in PullDPs in R2 as well as some of the CUs. There was even a KB for a hotfix released in the past couple of weeks that discussed a registry tweak to help PullDPs along.
PullDPs, in general, work quite well and there is no specific reason to avoid them. They do require a bit of extra care and feeding, but to my knowledge, nearly all of the kinks with them have been worked out.
Have you considered using BranchCache as an alternative (or one of the third-party ACPs) though? Not trying to make your decision harder or recommend one over the other, just making sure you knew about other options that could address your challenge.

Pull Distribution Point on updates removing

(1)When you distribute packages, you can use Pull Distribution Point. By this way, "SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER" component can do more Jobs. OK.
(2)My question is about the process of updates removing. SCCM Site takes long time to remove expired updates from DP. Is this action managed by "SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER" or SCCM Site notifies Pull DP to remove updates like (1)

distmgr is not involved when it comes to pull DPs. So assumption (1) is wrong. All actions are done by the pull DP after it was "notified" by the site.

SCCM 2012 R2 Pull DPs

Hello to all,
this article states that "There should be a good network connectivity between pull-distribution points and source distribution points so that you can achieve efficient and fast software distribution."
Question: as far as I know DPs can compress data from source to them. Is it really important to have good connectivity to source so pull DPs can be used? Regular DPs can be used on a site that has no Secondary and still get SWs/Packets from its
secondary server in a compressed way.
Regards, EEOC.

That is incorrect. DPs and transfer to DPs add no compression. Even site to site transfers are not compressed, they are simply put into an archive to my knowledge.
The statement is a cause and effect statement. If the connection is not good, then you will not achieve efficient and fast software distribution. It doesn't say it won't work though.

SCCM 2012 R2 Pull DP fails, works on Update Distribution Points

I'm seeing some odd behavior out of a DP, in particular around driver packages. The system is running SCCM 2012 R2. When I create the driver package I deploy it to the DP on the Primary Site Server. That usually happens in a couple of minutes or less.
I then deploy to a remote DP configured for Pull. This generates the log entries below in the PullDP.log. Even waiting hours doesn't seem to help. If I do a Update Distribution Points for the package, it runs successfully. I know
there was something similar fixed in SP1 CU3.

We ended up changing the DP back to a standard distribution point. That allowed the driver package to distribute successfully. so as a result I can't access the logs any longer.
I should note for anyone who goes searching for this that we had problems with every one of our driver packages. As I dug into it I found the contents, it looked like for some reason that it wasn't being transferred from the download location into
the final DP distribution location. It almost looked like SCCM was ignoring driver package types. I don't know if its a bug or just something quirky about this environment.
We were hoping to use Pull DP to handle our distributions more effectively, but we've backed off on that because of all the issues we've had with it. I hate say it, but it appears to be another SCCM 2012 feature that sounds like a good idea, but the
implementation leaves a lot to be desired.

SCCM 2012 R2 - Multiple Management Points

Hi,
We are deploying SCCM 2012 R2 and it will cover 15 geographical locations. There will be 1 site and 1 site server with DB. The 15 locations will each have a Distribution Point . The number of hosts is around 10,000 total.
Can multiple (15) Management Points be installed along with the Distribution Points to communicate back to 1 site server? Is it necessary or even possible?
Thanks.

It's possible yes (with many caveats), but not generally necessary. If you are concerned about client to MP traffic, which is generally quite small (which I why I say it's generally not necessary), then the use of secondary sites is recommended instead of
stand-alone DPs. The secondary site will then provide a local DP, MP, and SUP for clients at that location to use.
Directly placing an MP that is part of the primary site is problematic because clients do not choose MPs within a single primary site based upon their location. Thus, placing an MP remotely does not address geographically dispersed locations/clients in any
way and may make the problem worse. As of 2012 R2 CU3, you can hard-code MPs into clients, but this creates a bit of an overhead problem and does not address SUPs.
Thus, as mentioned, if you are truly concerned with this traffic, secondary sites are the way to go. Without knowing how many clients are at each location and the bandwidth available to those locations, I wouldn't make a recommendation as to which to use
though. In general, I always lean towards stand-alone DPs for remote locations unless the bandwidth is severely constrained or there are a large number of clients at that location.

SCCM 2012 R2 - Reporting Services Point installation - "The Datasource does not exist"

Hi all,
Quick bit of background, we have SCCM 2012 R2 installed on a Windows 2012 R2 server. We have the SQL back end off box, configured on a SQL 2012 R2 server running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 cluster. Then there is yet another server which runs the reporting
services. I've just tried installing the Reporting Services Point on the srs server but it doesn't appear to have worked that well. Here's the info i've got back:

Has anyone come across this issue before? Must admit, I'm not too hot on the sql side of things so any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, cheers for the swift response.
Garth, i can access SSRS in IE from the SCCM box and it looks a-ok.
Paul, nope can't say I've done any configuration of reporting services - the whole thing has been set up by the database team. Having had a trundle through Reporting Services Configuration Manager, it seems the Database team have set up SSRS in line with
the walkthrough you posted.
Since i'm not seeing the ConfigMgr_XXX folder appear in SSRS I'm wondering if there's something preventing SCCM from being able to create it. The message
"Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions
granted to user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' are insufficient for performing this operation" sounds like the account SCCM is leveraging to perform the install might not have the right permissions in SSRS. Do i need to delegate specific rights to the NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account in SRS perhaps?

SCCM 2012 Application Catalog Website Point role Status is critical

Hi team,
In a client's SCCM 2012 R2 environment there is a Critical Icon and Status against one of two Application Catalog Website point roles. Looking at the Component status, there are no errors and all the components show as green.
Trying to find any warnings or errors in the messages for the Site System role doesnt show any errors, and I tried to reset counts but this has not changed the status.
I am not sure where to go from here. The application catalog itself works and is up. All the services are running. I am unsure as to where this error status comes from or what it pertains to.
Any advice would be appreciated.

SCCM 2012: configure software update point

Hi,
I installed WSUS, installed the software update point on Windows 2012 (for SCCM 2012) with following commands:
Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices -IncludeManagementTools
cd 'C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools\'
.\wsusutil.exe postinstall CONTENT_DIR=E:\WSUS
Add-CMSoftwareUpdatePoint -SiteCode "PRD" -SiteSystemServerName "CM01.contoso.com" -ClientConnectionType Intranet -WsusiisPort 8530 -WsusiissslPort 8531
Now I'm stuck. How do I configure the specific update (f.e. Windows 2012, forefront etc), download them to a certain folder?
Please advise.
J.

It really isn't practical (or possible) to try to do an entire ConfigMgr implementation using PowerShell. I don't believe that you can choose your products using PoSH.
You will find a full list of cmdlets here

The following cmdlets are available to configure your software update infrastructure but I'm pretty sure none of them will help you with this.
