Distribution Point Configuration Status - Warning - Failed to retrieve the package list on the DP.

Hi,

Some of our DP's have a warning (Shown with a yellow exclamation mark) that never goes away. I have run a script on the DP's that could check for inconsistency in WMI, but it found nothing. Everything seems to work fine, but it is annoying that everything is not green when it should be!

The warning is:

Failed to retrieve package list on the distribution point. Or the package list in content library doesn't match the one in WMI. Review smsdpmon.log for more information about this failure.

Have you also tried to use the buildin option to validate content on a distribution point? Also, does the smsdpmon.log provide any additional information?

Hi Peter,

Yes I have tried to validate all content to no avail. ;(

No help to find in smsdpmon.log, I really think it is a bug...

Here is a small part of it:

Hi again,

This is what I see in the smsdpmon.log file on the DP which still shows a yellow exclamation mark:

If I make a query in WMI on the DP I can't find the package:

I can't delete a package which do not exist, so what do I do to fix this?

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 CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.
