Hi all. We only have 2 packages that contain all of the Software updates we deploy. Each package is about 20GB right now. Based on my research, there is no limit on size or number of updates within an update package.
Recently, we downloaded the latest out of cycle patches MS released on August 20th, and I did a "Update Distribution Points" on the package we downloaded the updates to. Now this is where things started to get strange:
- In the SCCM console, the package content status was stuck at In Progress for both my primary and remote pull DP
- Found a status message for the pull DP that said "Site System Status Summarizer has not been able to access the storage object". Found a related forum post that had me add a registry entry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Operations Management\SMS Server Role\SMS Distribution Point, Name: Availability State, Type: REG_DWORD,Data: 0.
-The registry entry (added to primary and Pull DP) caused the package to update on my primary DP, but my pull DP failed out with a generic "failed distributing content" message in the Distribution Point Configuration Status Details tab.
- There are no messages in distmgr.log or status messages for the Distribution Manager component that indicate anything is wrong. In fact, logs and status messages usually report that processing was successful, but the SCCM console never reflects that. I removed the package from my DPs then re-added it, but now the content status is now stuck at 0 targeted DP's!?
Just wondering if anybody had any advice for me? Should I delete and re-create the update package? I'd rather not as it will be difficult. Is there any other logs I should be looking at?
