Distribution Point Group Status Pie Chart Incorrect

In my SCCM 2012 R2 environment, I have only one Distribution Point Group, which contains all 20 of my DPs.

All packages have been distributed successfully to this DP group (verified via the Content Status node and checking each package, as well as the Distribution Point Configuration Status showing all 20 DPs with the green check-mark.

However, when I look under the Distribution Point Group Status, I see my DP group ("All DPs"), showing 20 members, but an Overall Distribution Status of "Error".  The pie chart for that group shows package status as Success: 106 / In Progress: 0 / Failed: 163.  The pie chart for "Distribution Point Group Status" for the "All DPs" group shows the colors appropriate to these (incorrect) numbers.  If I click the "View Status" link next to the pie chart, the different tabs (Success, In Progress, Error, Unknown) show:

Successfully distributed content:  20  (269 Content Items)  (last status time: today)

Successfully processed content on distribution point:  19  (263 Content Items)  (last status time: yesterday)

Nothing in the In Progress, Error, or Unknown tabs.

So my question...  Why is my Distribution Point Group Status showing the group with 163 Failures, but all Distribution Points showing 100% success on all packages?  Is there a bug that causes the Distribution Point Group Status to not update?  I've restarted the server a couple of times, and still no change.

Also, all 20 DPs are set up for content validation.  All validated successfully yesterday, but the "163 Failures" on Distribution Point Group Status didn't go away.

Has anyone resolved this?

I am encountering a similar issue. Pie chart is showing 129 ,errors> Failed. Oddly in Monitoring > Distribution Point Group Status > View Status > Error: I only see 4 Status 4 Total Assets and 7 Content Items and no items under Asset Details.

Using Kapaal's ssrs / sql query posted above; All content are showing Success no errors and none in progress.

Also using ContentLibraryExplorer I do see some packages as Invalid even tho they install in OSD and deployments.

I preformed a Secondary Site Recovery didn't resolve, I removed the DP role and re-added it didn't resolve, I even went as far as removing config mgr and sql instance and reinstalled and redistributed content and still encounter this issue. The site seems functional but the pie chart refuses to reflect 100% Compliance.

I've run into the same issue while trying to do some house keeping and get all content 100% successfully distributed.

The Pie charts for my DP groups had 2 "in Progress" and 1 "Failed" except the tab for each was blank.

I then went digging in to the "Distribution Point Configuration Status" node and found that if I select a DP click on the "Details" tab and sort by the "Message" column that anything with the message "Waiting for Content" was the issue.  I grabbed the package ID for each and started to ensure they were successfully distributed.

I think the blank tabs on the "Distribution Point Group Status" node occurs due to the fact it's detected that one of the DPs in that group is missing content but it doesn't show the info because the content was distributed to the DP by itself and not to the DP group containing that DP.  Perhaps just another bug in SCCM.

I found that some of the "Waiting for Content" errors related to package IDs that had been deleted from the server but the ID/content itself was still on the DPs. I went into the "Administration" node, "Site Configuration", the "Distribution Points".  Go to each DP, right click, properties and "content" tab and search for the package ID and remove it.

I hope this makes sense and helps someone.
