SMS: Distmgr.log Shows Errors If Distribution Point Is Updated Immediately After Package Creation (258424)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q258424

SYMPTOMS

Packages are created at a primary site and targeted to distribution points, which include secondary sites of the primary. When packages are created, they may not arrive and errors are noted in the Distmgr.log file.

WORKAROUND

When you create a package, allow it to be staged on the distribution points before you update the distribution points with the same package. If you are currently experiencing this problem, update the distribution points a second time. This allows the update to proceed normally and the package should arrive.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior occurs if the user updates the distribution point immediately after the package creation.
