Primary child server failed

[Packie]

Hi Niall.. hi all!

 

Please advice me when my primary child server failed to connect to Central Site, where or which log files should I look to have this issue fixed.

I'm in the middle of package distribution from Central Site DP to Primary Child DP when suddenly there's power failure.

When power resumes an hour later, I found that Primary Child won't download/sync package anymore from Central Site where it was a successful operation before the incident.

What have I tried:
1. sync Central Site to Primary Child relationship using preinst.exe /synchild & /syncparent

2. delete pending jobs using preinst.exe /deljob

3. check .PCK files under SMSPKG folder & found all PCK files are at the same size with Central Site

4. site repair. but after a few attemps now the site repair wizard produce an error and it won't launch anymore

there's no backup done for this server as it's a new setup/install.

some log files I looked at:

Any kind advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
