During DP installation on CM 2012 some of my friends are getting this error like “Distribution Manager is waiting for Package XXX00001 content to be prestaged on the distribution point” in DP details view .isn’t it ? So where is the issue then, very strange...? Think about package distribution in SCCM 2007 there is error in package source version mismatch right!  This error is quite similar in CM 2012 and in troubleshooting of this part which I have noticed just redistribute the package again or the last option update the DP which is strongly prohibited in all DP’s infrastructure. Please see below the screenshot hope it will help. 1. First of all check the DP is having Prestage option enable or not. If yes then disable it for short term. 2. Now locate the package and redistribute the package. And the last option is update the DP, which is update the all DP (might be a bad suggestion)

Yesterday one of my colleague identified one error which might be helpful to you guys.  We are using SCCM 2007 r3 and server is 2003 sp2.  We are using http port 8540 and for https 8541 One of our clients reported that they are unable to deploy software via run advertised program. We have checked the policy agaent.log and policy evelutor.log but all are good and the client is able to download the policy from MP. Then we checked datatransfer.log and found the error like below. After searching a few blogs and scratching the head our colleague find out that the problem is on IIS default website.  So he r/c on it, go to properties and check that the port must be our defined custom port 8540 but accidentally it was 80. So we changed it and restart the IIS. After that all are good. Thanks Haji ali  for troubleshooting the issue . And if you found this error on SCCM 2012 you can click on this

Recently we have faced one problem that after deletes one Primary server from SCCM hierarchy, the server still is showing on SCCM console. We have checked the logs, but no hope. After that  I am going to use preinst command, now the magic is that when I am going to use Del job it always delete job one by one, but when I used the Del site command to show me the error like “ not a known site ” (ID have admin access which is used for run the print command).  After searching the solution over the net I have found one solution, which is not recommended , but works for me.  Solution: Delete few data from SCCM DB where the Primary server attaches previously. And then wait for a couple of minutes and then refresh the console.  Favorable outcome............:) The commands are: --DELETE FROM SysResList WHERE SiteCode = 'XXX'  --DELETE FROM SiteBoundaryADSite WHERE SiteCode = 'XXX'  --DELETE FROM SiteBoundaryIPSubnet WHERE Si...

Today I encountered a problem regarding package deployment to a client machine. When the package is downloaded from SCCM DP/BDP, after couple of seconds the download stuck at 15% or sometime 67% at downloading state . The software was packaged in MSI format and it was correctly uploaded to SCCM and distributed to all distribution points without and issues at all. Still, when an end-user tried to install the software via Run Advertised Programs the software started to download and then simply got stuck at n% and did not move for over 24 hours. After checking few logs I have not found any error regarding the same. I have checked CAS.log, contenttransfer.log etc. But all are good no error. Solution :   I have found out one solution which is really effecting . [ Click ] I am not describing here lots of points because above link will give you all information .
