Applications suddenly won't deploy, hung / stuck at 0% downloading

[hynesy]

Hi all,

 

I just wanted to ping back with another cause that produces this issue to help anyone else. So basically after installing SCCM 1610 build it hosed our DP, I had to recreate the DP to get Application deployments working. Even after this Software Updates were not downloading, they would hang at 0% and would leave the following errors in DataTransferService.log:

"Error sending DAV request. HTTP code 404, status 'Not Found'"

"GetDirectoryList_HTTP('http://dp:port/SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/Content_xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.x') failed with code 0x87d0027e."

"Non-recoverable error retrieving manifest (0x87d0027e)."

Cause

For us, the cause was the "Authenticated Users" group had been removed (or not added when the DP was recreated) from the security permissions on the SMS_DP_SMSPKG$ and SMS_DP_SMSSIG$ IIS websites.

Resolution

If your Authenticated Users is missing from your SMS_DP_SMSPKG$ and SMS_DP_SMSSIG$ IIS websites, do the following to add the group back in:

1. Open IIS Manager

2. Under your server expand Site

3. Expand Default Web Site

4. Right click on SMS_DP_SMSPKG$ and select Edit Permissions, select the Security Tab and select Edit

5. Click Add... and enter Authenticated Users then select OK, OK, OK (if you get access denied error you will need to take ownership first).

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for SMS_DP_SMSSIG$

Cheers,

Hynesy
