SCCM 2007 Distribution Point Share on a Failover Clustered File Server.

Is SCCM 2007 Distribution Point Share supported on a Windows 2008 R2 Failover Clustered File Server? I can get the packages to copy to the DP Share. But if I create them on a non clustered server it works fine. Are there any special settings that need top be configured for clustered shares?

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

As far as I know this scenario is not supported scenario, In Windows Server 2008 R2, the Cluster Shared Volumes feature included in failover clustering is only supported for use with the Hyper-V server role.

The creation, reproduction, and storage of files on Cluster Shared Volumes that were not created for the Hyper-V role, including any user or application data stored under the ClusterStorage folder of the system drive on every node, are not supported and may result in unpredictable behavior, including data corruption or data loss on these shared volumes. Only files that are created for the Hyper-V role can be stored on Cluster Shared Volumes. An example of a file type that is created for the Hyper-V role is a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) file.
