Content Distribution for updated Packages and Applications failing on DP's

Hi all,

Since installing SP1 for SCCM 2012 we have noted that our content distribution success rate has gone down considerably

We have a CAS, 5 Primaries and 78 DP's hanging off the various Primaries

The issue is with existing content by which it is failing on 90% of DP's when we update a package/application. Please note when we push out fresh, brand new content we get a 100% success rate

This is causing us a bit of a headache as we regularly update our OSD driver packages aswell as the security update packages

When we redistribute or update content we are presented with the below 'retying rename of' on random DP's with the content eventually erroring out

Each DP is the same, by which windows 2008 OS, Antivirus which is configured not to scan the D:\ volume and no mirroring enabled or alike configured

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue on content push?

Regards
Richard

CU1 for SP1 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2828900 *might* help.

Thanks, but I should have mentioned that we have installed CU1, aswell as the hotfix for 'packages stuck in progress'

Did you upgrade your DPs from 2007?  If so, I'm experiencing the same issue.

I've filed a bug on Connect, please feel free to say you can reproduce it.  I'm not sure how much help that would be, but it probably can't hurt:

Also, there's another forum post on this same subject:

Looks like I spoke too soon. CU2 released this morning and should fix this issue:

From the document:

Content status may show a state of "Unknown" when a distribution point on a Configuration Manager 2007 Secondary Site is upgraded to Configuration Manager 2012.

We're also doing a side by side upgrade.  That's the only allowed method of CM12 implementation.  Did you deploy new DPs to all of your field offices also?  Or use the Distirbution Point Upgrade option within CM12's migration node?

Sorry I should have been clearer We deployed new hardware and rolled out 2012 alongside 2007, migrating clients across / decommissioning all 2007 primaries and DP's We completed this back in November last year and have only experienced issues with content push since SP1 was installed

Yes, I know this is an old post, but Im trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

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