steven_h Posted January 21, 2013 Report post Posted January 21, 2013 We have SCCM 2012 SP1, and yesterday I installed a second distribution point for some computers in another physical location. OSD/PXE and most applications are working fine from the new DP, but two applications (both consist of many files if that is a possible reason) will not copy over. I don't get an error message, but they are sat waiting on "Waiting for content" as in the screen shot below. The packages are on the primary DP (no issues with that) I have tried modifying BITS settings to allow all file extensions as I thought that might be a potential cause, but it made no difference Any help appreciated.

Peter van der Woude Posted January 21, 2013 Report post Posted January 21, 2013 Did you take a look at the distmgr.log? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_h Posted January 22, 2013 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 Yes, that and PkgXferMgr.log They all look normal apart from: PullDP Query Result failed. Failure count = 98/100, Restart time = 22/01/2013 00:02:07 GMT Standard Time Which tried 100 times before failing the package at 00:08 last night. The source directory etc is all identical to all the working packages (ruling out permissions or share issues). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlwalsted Posted January 25, 2013 Report post Posted January 25, 2013 Hi, I have exactly the same problem. It is after SP1 without a doubt. For me the scenario is like this: Redistribute or validate makes no difference at all. If I completely remove the package/application it works. Creating a brand new app/package also works but updating any "old" package/app it fails. WOuld love to hear from anyone who has a solution to this. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted January 25, 2013 Report post Posted January 25, 2013 have either of you configured anything in relation to pull dp on the properties of the dp? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlwalsted Posted January 26, 2013 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 Sorry never heard of the "Pull DP" option. Where is that again? It seems that if I remove all the "failing" DPs from the package/application and then re-add them they are fine also for future updates. EDIT: That was not the case afterall. It looks better but still some failing Just need to find an easy way to remove 33 DPs on 100+ packages/applications and then re-add them.

Peter33 Posted January 26, 2013 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 Pull distribution points are a new feature of SP1. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj591552.aspx#BKMK_WhatsNewSP1_Software The easiest way to manage your problem is probably powershell. You would still need to write a script. Maybe someone from the community has already something like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_h Posted February 7, 2013 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 I still have this issue. One of the packages which would not copy we just got a new version of, so I added it as a new application (to update via supersedance). This still did not copy to the second DP. The files structure is completely different to the first version (1 cab, 1 msi and a few ini files) - and it STILL does not copy! Any other suggestions would be helpful Also, no, I have not configured anything to do with PullDP (I'd also never heard of it) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_h Posted February 7, 2013 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 I've just turned off PullDP in the DP properties (I guess SP1 put it on automatically) -- its started copying!! Thanks for the hint anyweb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRP Posted April 30, 2013 Report post Posted April 30, 2013 I'm also having this issue post SP1 upgrade. PullDP is not turned on. Edit: I see MS now has a hotfix available for this issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2828900 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
