I have a Configuration Manager 2012 server in production that has been working very well for a while at this point. I recently starting working on getting it setup to deploy images via PXE and have run into a whole slew of problems. 1. All of a sudden I can no longer update content on my distribution point. I worked for a while trying to figure out what was causing this and digging through the distmgr.log never really found anything of substance. I deleted the Distribution point role, restarted and then blew away all folders that related to it. I re added the role and distributed my Boot images without issue. 2. Fast forwaard to today I tried to create a task sequence bootable media and it kept failing telling me that the content library didnt match the source. I tried to retributive my boot images and task sequences to the DP thinking that was the issue and all of a sudden I am back to where I started. When I try to distribute content it hangs "In Process" forever. I have no idea where to go from here as there is obviously a problem, but I cant figure out where it is at. The Service Account I am using has full access to everything in question so I don't think it is a permissions issue. Nothing else in the environment changed so I am not sure where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

I resolved the issue by removing the distribution role from the server, rebooting, removing all distribution folders and then re-adding the role. This fixed the issue.

Hello all - I am having some trouble with content perpetually hanging "In Process" Below is part of the distmgr log, but I am not sure exactly what it is telling me any help would be appreciated. The packages I am specifically looking to distribute are the Boot Images.

No, currently there is no GP for Windows Updates.

I followed the guide on this set to get Endpoint Protection up and running with the Automatic Deployment Rule, but have now noticed that none of my users can run Windows Update on their own as it says its control my the Systems Admin. How can I fix this so I still push out the EndPoint Protection definitions, but end users can still control their updates? Thanks! Steve
