Hello, I built a new Secondary Site. I've configured WebDAV and I've even added my file extension to the ApplicationHosts.config file. I deploy a .CMD file to machines that hang off of my secondary site. The package ID CN100332 shows up on
the secondary site and the .CMD file is there. But, on the target machines the .CMD file never shows up. BUT.....the CN100332 folder does show up under the CACHE folder on the clients, it just has no content.
So I looked at the logs and nothing jumpped out. It all looks like its working. I looked in the advertisement status and I see this.
The program for advertisement "CN12036A has not yet started because the content for the package "CN100332" - "Null Deploy" (version 1) has not been acquired. Possible cause: The content for this program must be downloaded into the computer's cache, or the content could not be located.
Solution: If the program is being downloaded, no action is required. The program will start once the download has been successfully completed. If the content can not be located, ensure that a distribution point with this content is available for this computer. Distribution point availability can be affected by roaming boundary configuration which is used to determine whether distribution points are classified as local or remote, or by enabling distribution points as protected distribution points. Distribution point availability can also be affected if you are using branch distribution points and the advertisement is configured with the option Run program from distribution point instead of Download content from distribution point and run locally. This is because branch distribution points do not support advertisements that are configured to run directly from a distribution point.

So let me answer each part of this error message.
Solution: If the program is being downloaded, no action is required. The program will start once the download has been successfully completed. - Package IS on the secondary site server. Just not on the clients.
If the content can not be located, ensure that a distribution point with this content is available for this computer. Again it IS on the DP.
Distribution point availability can be affected by roaming boundary configuration which is used to determine whether distribution points are classified as local or remote, or by enabling distribution points as protected distribution points. -- I have confirmed that the boundaires are correct for the site and they match the clients in the office I'm trying to deploy software too.
We are NOT using a BDP.
Why does it not install software on the client machines?
