I have an interesting issue. I am implementing CM2012 with SP1 and decided to split out my distribution point separate from my primary server. I have my x86 and x64 boot images distributed, along with my Windows image for Win7x64-SP1. I created a task sequence and can successfully PXE boot into WinPE, but I stall immediately with an error that the task sequence cannot find the program files on the distribution point. The package ID it references is the "Configuration Manager Client Package".
I checked distribution status for the CM client package and it keeps saying it's "in progress" and that it's waiting to be manually pre-staged. I looked at the properties for the package and they are all grayed out -- there is no way to change the prestage setting from its value of manual and everytime I run 'distribute' content, I notice (from the distmgr.log) that it says that the package and its properties have not changed, so nothing is to be done.
How else can I get the CM client package to copy to my DPs? Without it, my task sequences are dead on arrival.
