Hi,

I have a small package (.rpm)  of less than 20 KB for a Linux client in SCCM 2012 environment. I have set the client policy refresh to 10 minutes and deployment time out is set to just 20 minutes during the Package creation. In spite of all these it takes more than 2 hours to either throw a success or failure code for this deployment. Whether the package gets a successful deployment or a failed one in both the cases it takes hours to finish.

I am looking for reasons as to why CM takes so much of time for such small installs in case of Linux device and what can be done to improve this response.
I have exhausted every option and looking for some pointers. Than

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for looking into my query. TO answer your question Yes I had checked on logs. What I find interesting that even though specifying target OS as Redhat during package definition the policy when called for performs a check of all the OS versions.

Here are some excerpts from the log of a Linux device-
