I have two packages that are distributed to four distribution points in a single distribution point group. Every Sunday when content validation runs, the two packages continue to fail content validation only on one of the four distribution points. The package is configured to copy the content to a package share on the distribution points.

The package has been deleted and recreated, but it still continues to fail content validation. An interesting note is that when the packages are not configured to copy the contents to a package share on the distribution points, they pass content validation.

When content validation does fail (when copy the content is set), the SMSDPMON log shows the following bad news.

[Package A]

My assumption is that the content library might be jacked. I am thinking that I might have to rebuild the distribution point. Does anyone have any other suggestions for troubleshooting and rectifying this situation? Is there a way to rebuild the content library without rebuilding the distribution point? The error code 0x80070003 mentioned above, suggests the system cannot find the path specified. I have verified both paths exists... Whatever is occurring is beyond me.

Make a copy of the package (IOW create another one with the same content) and remove those two files mentioned above and distribute it. Check if the error still occurs. Just for testing purposes. I don't think that rebuilding the DP would help.

Sure - I will give that a try. What are your thoughts why this is occurring only on one distribution point of the four?
