Stop DP for maintenance

Recommended Posts

Good Afternoon,

 

After seeing our SCCM 2012 Content Library drive running out of space, we need to move this folder to a bigger drive. After searching ways to perform this task, we found the ContentLibraryTransfer tool which is exactly what we need to perform it. Despite having the tool, we stopped on these sugestions :

 

 

1. ContentLibraryTransfer.exe must run locally on the distribution point with administrator privileges. Can’t be run from a remote machine. However, we could be able to use psexec and run this tool remotely?

Three Points to be noted before running Content Library Transfer Tool

 

2. For successful transfer of content library, make sure that the DP is NOT actively used by any of the clients. Otherwise the destination drive may have incomplete data.

3. During the process of transfer no packages are being distributed to that DP. Otherwise the destination drive may have incomplete data and data transfer might fail altogether leading to an unusable content library

My question is... How can we stop our distribution point from being available, and perform this and other maintenance tasks?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Greetings
