Sccm no matching DP location found

Question

I've been researching this problem for some time now and I can't figure it out, maybe someone here can help me out?  I'm trying to deploy an OS image and I keep getting the error:  "The requested software cannot be located.  The system might
be in the process of transferring these files.  Try again later, or if this operation continues to fail after several attempts, please contact your administrator or helpdesk operator.".
I verfied that the distribution points have been set and I can access the network shares from the computer I'm trying to reimage.  I checked the CAS.log and "No ContentRequest with the given handle found" is highlighted when I open with SMSTrace. 
Some system info:
This is a brand new computer tha I am using for testing.  It has all of the factory settings so there are no duplicate SIDs or GUIDs like others have encounters
Server 2008 R2, SCCM 2007 R2.  Site system status is all green.
Component status shows critical status for these:
SMS_Inventory_Data_Loader
SMS_MP_Control_Manager
SMS_Software_Inventory_Processor
No errors, but lots of warnings.

Answer 1

Hi,
Well I have had this error "no matching DP location found" and finally have realized what is the cause.
I have configured OSD with SCCM 2007 as TaskSequence. On 3 computers located in building I have tested image and TS and after few changes I got perfectly working image and TS.
My task was to migrate XP to Win7 on cca. 1500 workstations located all across he country in branch offices. I have configured boundaries for each branch office and dedicated one workstation to be BDP. I then distributed all packages needed by OSD task sequence
to these BDPs. When I have advertised TS to certain collection I start getting this error about DP could not be located. How can not be located if I have configured boundaries correctly (I check boundaries few times even change from ip range to ip subnet with
no success) and I checked content on BDP showing all necessary packages  are there. So, if client knows his boundary and content is there for sure how he can not see it or better to say find it?
Well answer to this question (which I believe you will find it faster than me, I was solving this issue for two days) is related with two options.
First, if boundary is configured as SLOW client executing TS will consider BDP as remote DP. Pay attention not UNPROTECTED but REMOTE. Now you are probably thinking or googling unprotected vs remote so here is the answer

and some good article

Second, if you want to leave boundary as slow you MUST check option under
Advertisement properties -> Distribution points.
1. When no local DP is available, use a remote DP
BUT DO NOT check second option "When no protected
DP is available use an unprotected DP" because client will pull content thrue WAN link (at least in my case and I do not want downloading wim image 3.5GB over wan link). 
So, I really hope someone will find this useful and instead of searching for solution grab a beer :)
