[Primary child server failed]

Hi Niall.. hi all!

 

Please advice me when my primary child server failed to connect to Central Site, where or which log files should I look to have this issue fixed.

I'm in the middle of package distribution from Central Site DP to Primary Child DP when suddenly there's power failure.

When power resumes an hour later, I found that Primary Child won't download/sync package anymore from Central Site where it was a successful operation before the incident.

What have I tried:
1. sync Central Site to Primary Child relationship using preinst.exe /synchild & /syncparent

2. delete pending jobs using preinst.exe /deljob

3. check .PCK files under SMSPKG folder & found all PCK files are at the same size with Central Site

4. site repair. but after a few attemps now the site repair wizard produce an error and it won't launch anymore

there's no backup done for this server as it's a new setup/install.

some log files I looked at:

Moving this post under collection section.

[How to configure AMT (vPro)?]

if i get time to do this I will, but right now Iäm too busy sorry.

 

meanwhile if you have Microsoft Connect access then download this new AMT Deployment Guide

hi anyweb,

 

i came in late, the URL to Microsoft Connect already expired

it would be nice if you have AMT/vPO config. documented here as i know it's slightly complicated as you'll need certificate server to be set up

 

this is a feature i'd like to add to my SCCM but still failing at this moment
