I am current configuring SCCM 2012 SP1 for a client with more than 25000 users and facing a tough situation with the architecture that I am implementing for the new environment. I am curious to know if SCCM 2012 SP1 SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER supports multithreading. If that component uses single thread then it will have a big impact on the postings of applications to a big chunk of remote DPs some of which are connected through slow links. Since those remote DPs will get various application packages simultaneously, I want to ensure that the users in those remote locations are not affected. If the SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER works in a single-thread mode then all the 1200 applications (targeted to those DPs) will be placed in order of priority and that might have some adverse effect on the users. However, in a single-thread mode I think we can change the priority of certain packages to get preference over the rest but I don’t know how to configure that in SCCM 2012. I tried to find related threads in TechNet and some top forums as this one but so far I am unsuccessful to get any. Please help if anyone knows whether SCCM 2012 Distribution Manager component supports multithreading. I know SCCM 2007 did not support multithreading. Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Subhro Canada

Hello, i'm new using SCCM and i'm trying to deploy a simple package with a MSI installer for deploying Adobe Flash Player 11 in a test collection of 2 computers. We are using SCCM 12 in Windows Server 2008 R2, and we have automatic deployments for Microsoft Software that work perfectly. I've been trying a different things that i saw in a lot of posts and i can't make it work. The Distribution Manager succesfully distributed the Package to the Distribution Point, but the Deployment Status is UNKNOWN (printscreen attached).
