We have 14x Configuration Manager Client Package / Configuration Manager Client Upgrade Packages in our SCCM2012R2cu1 environment.

We tried deleting all of the packages that were not linked to deployments/task sequences, but a few days later these were re-created with new PackageIDs.

Any ideas what could be causing this? are there some logs we should be checking?

Thanks!

This is caused by a stuck file in an inbox (distmgr.box?) if I recall correctly. Distmgr.log should unveil details.

thanks for the reply Torsten,

We checked \inboxes\distmgr.box and identified quite a few old INS, PKN & SHA files - which we have now moved to a different location.

checking the distmgr.log, it shows those newly generated packages going through the usual process of:

• Found package properties updated notification for package 'XX1001D5'
• Found notification for package 'XX1001D5'
• Start adding package XX1001D5...
• CDistributionSrcSQL::UpdateAvailableVersion PackageID=XX1001D5, Version=1, Status=2300
• Taking package snapshot for package XX1001D5 from source \\aucolo-sccm.com\SMS_XX1\Client
• The size of package XX1001D5, version 1 is 186336 KBytes
• Successfully created RDC signatures for package XX1001D5 version 1
• CDistributionSrcSQL::UpdateAvailableVersion PackageID=XX1001D5, Version=1, Status=2376
• Created policy provider trigger for ID XX1001D5
• ...

After moving the old INS, PKN & SHA files, we have now re-deleted the duplicate Configuration Manager Client (Upgrade) Packages. We will monitor to see if these are re-created again..

thanks

Ok so looks like there is some kind of process or task that occurs on a Sunday that is generating these packages.

When I posted on this thread last, we had deleted all but the two most recent packages (XX1001DB and XX1001DB).  Now after the weekend, we have two additional packages (XX1001EB and XX1001EC) - see screenshot here: http://i62.tinypic.com/5ahor9.png

the distmgr inbox does not show any corresponding entries for those package IDs and the distmgr.log shows normal distribution logs.

also, the hman.log seems to be referring to these packages (see next post). Unfortunately the log has rolled over so we are unable to see the packages being created. we have increased the maximum log size for this service to be 20mb so we hopefully can capture it in future

Are there any other ideas where we can look to troubleshoot this? thanks!

Yes, I know this is an old post, did you get this fixed, if so what was the solution?

Same Problem here,

every Weekend a new Client Package / Configuration Manager Client Upgrade Packages is generated.

But no solution until now...

The error is clear, there is a problem with your SQL server setup.

I also think that the Problem is located on the SQL Server e.g. Backup. The Error only occurs on the Weekend, the only think is that at this time no backup process or something else is runing.

How exactly are you backing up CM12?

BTW, I generally recommend daily backups.

Here are the Messages from the hman.log

The Customer back up the Server with Maintanence Task and also on Weekend with additional Backup Software

The Customer back up the Server with Maintanence Task and also on Weekend with additional Backup Software

The CM12 maintenance task will not cause this issue. What exactly is the additional backup software? Do these error coincide with the other backup software? How exactly is the other backup software backing up SQL server?

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.
