Heh All, I ran into an issue today with package distribution to DPs. I pushed a package of size 900 MB to some 10 DPs at a time.. I believe it will process only three DPs at any given time... For some reason the package distribution is not happening or its too slow... Please see the log below.. It seems to contantly check the package UTC007C1 which is already installed in all DPs over and over again but not processing the packages that needs to be installed Please find the Distmgr Log extract below.. ~Used 2 out of 3 allowed processing threads. $$<SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER><Wed Mar 28 01:23:19.040 2012 W.

I would wait a little. I do not see any errors in the log and the packages might take some time to process all depending of the WAN connections.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: blog.coretech.dk/kea and SCUG.dk/ | Twitter: @Agerlund | Linkedin: Kent Agerlund
