Installing from Dist Point?

I have an application that I pushed out to a remote site. The remote site server is set as a distribution point. Some of the PC's did not get the application installed and I would like to manually run it while logged onto their PC. The core install files though are located on our main site server in a different city and the pipe/connection is very small. I would like to instead manually run the install from the distribution server at the remote site for those PC's that are unable to get the application installed via SCCM. Is this possible? If not, any other way around this?

Thanks!

You could use Content Library Explorer (if your site is on R2) to extract the installation files from the contentlib of the remote DP and install it manually t

How does one find out if they have R2 installed? Our version is: 5.00.7711.0000

Hi,

The admin console if you select about will actually say R2 as well, but here is a list of version numbers for SCCM. http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrdogs/archive/2014/04/11/configmgr-2012-version-numbers.aspx

So since we are not on R2 per the version I found and wrote above, is there any other way of doing this?

Not that I am aware of. You could crawl the content library manually (or scripted), but that's not going to be easy or super-fast.
