SCCM 2007: Software Distribution: Numbers os retries
HelloI've configured "Software Distribution" PropertiesNumber of retries:5Delay before retrying: 30But, when I distribute SW to a offline DP, always continue with the process (I can see it in distrmgr.log). Never stop....Always is trying to distribute the SW to the Offline DPWhy?? It should be try1 time each 30 min (5 times).......

You should see the number of retries in distmgr.log. Has it already reached 5? Or what does the log say?

I've repeated the situationNumber of retries:5Delay before retrying: 11) I've installed SCCM 2007 R2 SP1. I've create a DP. I've put offline the DP and after I've sent a package. After of 5 retries (1 minute *5) , the package status is "Failed" and "Distmgr.log" is inactive. (OK)2) I've upgraded with SCCM 2007 SP2. I've create a DP. I've put offline the DP and after I've sent a package. After of 5 retries (10 sec *%), the process start again. "Distmgr.log" is always active....(NO GOOD)I think that this situation is very very important, because the site server is consuming network and CPU resources all time. Also, if you want to send a package to another online DPs, the time of sending is major, because the site is busy checking if it can send the package to the offline DP....I've surprised !!!! SP2 was released 2 weeks ago......Any ideas???

Any ideas??? Open a call at Microsoft if it's urgent. I was also able to reproduce the issue. The issue can only be seen if a DP is offline or cannot be reached, so you won't see it in a "standard situation".

when your pkg completes all retries please checkfor below registry key ?and also check the same registry key when it is restarting again.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER\Retry History \<package ID> and see value name Number of Retries Also navigate to below registry path and observethe the packages ID (which are restarting again even after the completion of retrying cycle)is residing in a "value data" or not .HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER\ Package Processing Queueplease put your observation here.Meanwhile you can raise the case with Microsoft too.Abhishek Joshi http://blogcastrepository.com/blogs/abi/default.aspx http://blogcastrepository.com/members/Abhishek.aspx
