We modified some packages and then clicked update DP's , however nothing happens . We tried restarting SMS_EXEC and Sitecmop services , tried restarting DP thread ,restarted SCCM server (Which is both DP and Siteserver) ..Nothing happens .. In the console it doesnt say Installing or failed , Nither does it Shouw New Version , The distmgr.log has no error , neither doest it update. Any idea. We are SCCM 2007 SP2 R3

You need to check the distmgr.log file on the site server and look for errors related to the distribution,Kent Agerlund | My blogs: blog.coretech.dk/kea and SCUG.dk/ | Twitter: @Agerlund | Linkedin: Kent Agerlund

I checked it as i mentioned , it doesnt show any errors , neither does it show anything related to updating the package: Used 1 out of 3 allowed processing threads.
