I am in the midst of trying to put together a Windows 8.1 DP and when I check the Distmgr.log, everything looks fine. Then when I add it to a DP group that my primary DP is a member of for the simple purpose of having those packages transferred over to the new DP, I don't see any packages at all under the Content tab of the DP properties for the new Windows 8.1 DP with the exception of the Configuration Manager Client Package. Also, I created an AD group and named it SCCM Site Servers and I added my Site Server to that and then added that group to the local admins group on the Windows 8.1 DP. 

I need some help in determining why packages are not getting transferred, please HELP!

Here is what I am referring to:

When I check the pkgxfermgr.log, I see the following errors:

Also, when I check the smsdpprov.log on my Windows 8.1 DP, I see the following errors:

I know that these errors mean that the path and the file specified cannot be found, but I have no idea why it is stating this. 

Thanks again

Thanks for the response, Jeff, I appreciate it. 

Yes sir, that is what I stated initially up above in the posting:

Also, I created an AD group and named it SCCM Site Servers and I added my Site Server to that and then added that group to the local admins group on the Windows 8.1 DP. 

Any other ideas what could be causing this? 

I have never seen this before, obviously, so I am a tad stumped. 

Thanks for your help

OMFG!!

I think I just may be a complete IDIOT. 

I apparently have to go to my applications and packages in the Software Library, then select them, then click Distribute Content and select the new DP. 

I thought instead of doing this all I had to do was add the new DP to the DP group and it would automatically receive the content from the existing DP, but I guess that does NOT happen. 

Now I understand how it works. 

Today has been just one big brain fart for me. 

I can now see all the content on the new DP.
