SCCM 2012 Slow Content Download package deployment

I installed SCCM 2012 R2. clients are downloading packages extremely slow. The same package was downloading in 10 mins taking more than 1.5 hour to download. That might be the misconfgiuration ?
Boundries set as AD Groups.

Have you looked at the Client log files related to content management?

  • Manage SCCM 2012 clients in DMZ (OS Deploy, Windows updates) via DP/MP

    Hi,
    We ’d like to manage (=OS Deploy, Packages,Windows updates) Windows clients (Windows 2008/2012 R2 servers for now, about 20 of them) in a DMZ (= different domain).
    There is this article
    https://nikifoster.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/installing-configmgr-clients-on-servers-in-a-dmz/ which explains what to do … in 2011. Since then lots of things are changed I guess
    Before I dive in, I’d need to have an overview + do some administrative tasks (like asking for firewall accesses).
    Current setup DMZ:
    Our SCCM 2012 R2 server is on a Windows 2008 R2 OS
    Client communication is done via HTTP (not HTTPS)
    An extra physical Distribution point is setup (only DP, nothing more) in our current domain
    A new Windows 2012 server is setup in the DMZ which should host the DP and probably management point (since it should manage the clients over there)
    There are clients in DMZ that are currenlty managed by SCCM 2007 but 
    this server will be phased out, these client have:
    Correct sccm functionality
    Correct DNS resolution
    My steps/questions, please comment:
    Add the DMZ ip range to SCCM 2012 boundary as “DMZ”
    Add the network access account to be able to deploy as well clients as distribution point in DMZ
    In the DMZ accesses on firewall for server VLAN have to be asked
    When we have a distribution point and communication is “HTTP only” then http (port 80) from DMZ to sccm server should suffice, correct? Or are
     extra firewall openings needed for management point access/packages and windows updates sync?
    Now the sccm clients will be deployed to the servers in DMZ: deploy SCCM clients to hosts in DMZ, how this should be done: we connect a console to the SCCM-server in the DMZ then deploy the discovered clients?
    OS Deploy should be made available, but no dhcp is available in DMZ and it is not an option either, therefore we would boot from an ISO then enter an ip (or pre-enter it so there is already filled in an ip?). So tasksequences/deployments
    for servers in DMZ, where are they configured/deployed then? Via console access on DMZ management point or can we deploy on our domain SCCM management point (not in DMZ) and it will be synced to the DMZ management point? Not clear
    Selective sync of software to this distribution point (howto? not sure), we don’t need any Windows 8 software/drivers to be synced.
    Thanks for your input!

    No comment;
    I think you mean the client push installation account and the site system installation account;
    More ports are required, see site server > distribution point and distribution point > management point from the provided link;
    The console will always be connected to your primary site server. The client will be pushed from the primary site server and it will provide the initial files. The other files will be downloaded from the local distribution point;
    The task sequence deployment will be just like a normal taks sequence deployment. The only difference is the location of the server;
    Only the content that's distributed to the distribution point in the DMZ will be available on that distribution point.

  • SCCM 2012 source content gets deleted

    I have been using SCCM 2012 for over a year now and have jsut noticed that all of the content in my original source folders has been deleted. I am trying to redistribute this missing content with no luck, mainly because it doesnt exist anymore.
    I have two questions.
    1. How do I change the cleanup of the source content folder
    2. How do I re-download software updates to redistribute once the source content gets deleted.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Perhaps it was this:

  • SCCM 2012 says content distributed, but the folders are missing in my DP

    SCCM 2012 SP1 Update 4
    I've been adding updates and creating new applications and all looked ok.  I distributed them to my 7 distribution points, and the stats shows the content was distributed.  However, if I look on the DP hard drive for the folders, they are not there.
     Deployments are failing saying they cant find files.
    Any thoughts? I cant find anything through Google (sorry Bing ;) )..
    Thanks!!!
    Joel

    CM 2012 content library is different fr0m SMSPKGE$ folder. Check for SCCMContentLib folder. Also check the status of content distribution from CM12 console - Monitoring - Content Status Node

  • SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 - Unable to deploy or configure PullDP's

    After upgrading to SCCM 2012 R2 CU2, I'm not able anymore to promote new Distribution Points acting as Pull DP's with the source servers set. This was configured and worked as expected under SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 where the 2 DP's were setup as PullDP's. After
    Upgrade to 2012 R2 CU2, I decided to switch everything over to use HTTPS instead of HTTP as it is getting closer to production. In this process I uninstalled a DP and tried to promote it back, yet when I try to select a DP as source, it lists none.
    Venturing a bit ahead, if I try to modify the PullDP's on the one that upgraded to SSL as expected, this also appears to be "broken" if I strip away the single DP it has and add in a new, so this change has not been applied to it.
    After sleeping on it, I decied to try to do this via PowerShell instead, to no avail.
    Output of powershell:
    PS BKA:\> Set-CMDistributionPoint -SiteCode 'ABC' -SiteSystemServerName 'RemotePullDPFQDN' -EnablePullDP $true -SourceDistributionPoints 'PrimarySiteServerFQDN' -SourceDPRanks 1WARNING: One or more source distribution points are invalid.Set-CMDistributionPoint : Validation of input parameters failed.

    The DP's are also MP and FSP's for the purpose in a "remote" untrusted forest, this is for them to have localized content available to lessen the load on the firewalls AND the Primary Site Server itself (6000+ laptops and desktops).
    Any thoughtson how to promote the PullDP back?

  • SCCM 2012 client in capture but deploy has default step "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr"

    Hi,
    We have our SCCM 2012 client in the capture but the deploy has a single step "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" in which there is no option to NOT install the sccm 2012 client.
    So what happens then, the client is installed a second time?
    Please advise.
    J.
    Jan Hoedt

    Hello !
    This is a mandatory step in order to configure Windows for a first use. In your case, the SCCM client will just be serialized, it's not a problem. The SCCM client has generally been prepared during the design capture.
    Hope this helps.

  • SCCM 2012 Slow deployment & DNS

    Hello I'm currently working on a medium sized network and we have migrated about half our clients from 2007 to 2012 SCCM client. As we are doing security patches and deployments from both SCCM 2007 and 2012 there is a significant difference in speed of deployment
    as in clients picking up on a deployment and acting on it. SCCM 2007 has mostly completed in 2hrs where as 2012 has barely started. We have changed the application deployment cycle in the client setting down to 15min but this doesn't seem to of made much difference.
    I have noticed that I have to jump on a machine and do a ipconfig /release then renew to get the advertisements started. But DNS is looking ok?
    Any suggestions?

  • SCCM 2012 Primary Site Recovery - Packages not working

    I recently had to recover my Primary Site due to system crashes with blue screens on a daily basis. I was running ConfigMgr 2012 SP CU 3 and as part of the process I migrated from WS2008 R2 to WS2012 R2.
    After many hours of perusing the web, I found the solutions to deal with the common site recovery issues such as SSL certs, and the content validation due to an empty ContentLib folder. I also had the issue with the update source where it listed the old
    WSUS 3.2 server and the new one so the Site GUID was also updated.
    The issue I am currently experiencing is that packages new or old including software update packages are not working. When using the script by Peter VanWoulde it lists the Deployment State as Error. I have tried redistributing them, valdiating the content,
    removing distribution points, adding in new distribution points and even recreating some of the smaller packages to test but nothing is working.
    Application deployments are working without issues.
    This is the tail end of the WindowsUpdate.log file

    Hi Xin,
    Sorry for not responding earlier but I did recover the site using the guidelines in the following article Backup and Recovery in Configuration Manager,
    however there were a few issues. 
    I did not have a ContentLib backup so all the content had to be redistributed and validated before that worked. None of my packages new or old would work. I eventually found an article from a forum member who also initiated a Site Reset as part of their
    recovery process and had no issues.
    So it seems that any packages are still not working and i think I narrowed it down.
    For some reason even though my DP and MP are all set for HTTPS, it is trying to access the HTTP path for SMS_DP_SMSPKG$. I am using PKI certs so this is the correct path but it should be HTTPS.

  • OSD SCCM 2012 R2: 1 logfile per deploy?

    Hi,
    I followed this guide to have central logfiles for OS deploy:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/newthread?category=systemcenter2012configurationmanager&forum=configmanagerosd
    This created a folder with smsts.log, smsts-dateofdeploy.log and wpeinit.log.
    My questions:
    1.I probably don't need wpeinit.log(?)
    2.what's the difference between smsts-dateofdeploy.log and smsts.log?
    3.can I use the smsts-dateofdeploy.log through the whole task sequence as reference log?
    That would mean I' d use this command cmd.exe /c copy %_smstslogpath%\smsts-*.log L:\SuccessFull\%_smstsmachinename% to gather the logfile
    and that option (3.) would be the solution for me?
    Please advise.

    Hi,
    The link you provided doesn't work.
    1. no..
    2. Without the link I assume that SMSTS.log is the last part of the SMSTS.log file and that the SMTS+date.log file is that the SMSTS.log that was cycled due to the log file limitation.
    3. Normally you would not have the whole OS deployment is those two logfiles as the logfiles are cycled. Here is a great post on how the extend it.

  • SCCM 2012 - Slow Remote Tools

    Hi guys,
    We are using SCCM12 in a Gigabit LAN environment, and Remote Tools is very slow and "lagged", the mouse cursor dragged slowly over
    the remote workstation.
    As seen here and here on
    TechNet, no one has a solution to that problem.
    By far reading SP1 beta release notes I couldn't find anything related to this issue.
    My thoughts:
    As one of the old threads mentioned SCCM
    2007 was "based on the Vista RDP collab protocol" (6.0?) so maybe installing the new RDP8.0 protocol might help?
    Maybe because SCCM12 authentication based on Kerberos instead of NTLM might cause this decrease of performance? and if so, there is
    anyway to change it? is it worth?
    any help would be much appreciated! 
    Thanks,
    Gal 

    Hi Eric, and thanks for your reply.
    I have read those posts you replied but I couldn't find any of the optimizations to have any better performance.
    it's frustrating that it seems no one else having this issue and MS doesn't really do much about it (in SP1 rls notes there is nothing about it).
    in our company we use ONLY RCViewer for remote control.. having a third-party solution is not an option.
    as for your questions,
    - Remote Assistance works PERFECT, no lags at all, but we want to use SCCM RC. (also RDP is great)
    - We are using Win7 Ent x32/x64 both, we have tried to remote from several systems (whole of the helpdesk team is complaining about that, again, comparing to SCCM2007 which they were used to..)
    I still hope that someone else who upgraded to SCCM12 had any solution to that...

  • SCCM 2012 Powershell Redistribute Failed Packages

    I noticed that sometimes a package will not distribute to one of my distribution point.
    Does some know if a powershell script is available which:
    - found out the packages with the failed status at a distribution point
    - redistribute the package to that specific DP
    - will do this check for all packages and for all DP's

    Hi,
    I wrote this script for our environment, it beats clicking stuff.
    $SiteCode = "ABC"
    $PackageState = "3"
    $FailedPackages = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\SMS\Site_$($SiteCode)" -Query "select * from SMS_PackageStatusDistPointsSummarizer where state = $($PackageState)"
    if ($FailedPackages.Count -gt 0)
    Write-Host "There are $($FailedPackages.Count) Failed Packages at the moment."
    elseif ($FailedPackages)
    Write-Host "There is 1 Failed Package at the moment."
    else
    Write-Host "There are 0 at the moment."
    if ($FailedPackages)
    foreach ($FailedPackage in $FailedPackages)
    try
    $DistributionPointObj = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\SMS\Site_$($SiteCode)" -Class SMS_DistributionPoint -Filter "PackageID='$($FailedPackage.PackageID)' and ServerNALPath like '%$($FailedPackage.ServerNALPath.Substring(12,7))%'"
    $DistributionPointObj.RefreshNow = $True
    $result = $DistributionPointObj.Put()
    Write-Host "Refreshed $($FailedPackage.PackageID) on $($FailedPackage.ServerNALPath.Substring(12,7)) - State was: $($FailedPackage.State)"
    catch
    Write-Host "Unable to refresh package $($FailedPackage.PackageID) on $($FailedPackage.ServerNALPath.Substring(12,7)) - State was: $($FailedPackage.State)"
    write-host $Error
    Most of our DP's are now PullDPs.  When they fail, we find that restarting ccmexec and BITS helps a bit before redistributing.
    Cheers!
