Hi There, Our primary site server is constantly sitting on 'install pending' when trying to update distribution points with new package versions. This has been left full days with no effect. The distmgr.log file seems to indicate it has picked up the command to update to a new version number of a package but then sits with the messages below Used 3 out of 3 allowed processing threads.

SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER 10/22/2013 1:51:32 PM 17216 (0x4340) The only option i have seen that actually works and kick starts the update of DP's is to kill the SMS_Executive process and re-start the SMS_Executive service. We have had issues with the primary site server of this nature before for 1-2 days during busy roll outs but these issues have been ongoing for 2+-weeks and the system performance is being impacted. I am needing to restart the service nearly every time a package is updated. Any advice would be welcome Many Thanks
