Hi,
We have some orphan DPs in SCCM 2007 that are dead that no longer exist.
However in hirarchy the system is still trying to send packages to the child DP's.
Severity Type Site code Date / Time System Component Message ID Description
Error Milestone XXX 9/12/2013 6:38:05 PM SERVER1 SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER 2332 SMS Distribution Manager failed to remove package "XXX001CE" from distribution path "MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=XXX"]\\SERVER1\PACKAGE$\SMSPKG\XXX001CE\".
Possible cause: The distribution point might not be accessible to SMS Distribution Manager running on the site server. Solution: If users are currently accessing the package files on the distribution point, disconnect the users first.
I have read if you delete the package from the DP it will try for 100 times before giving up.
which supports what i seem to see in the distmgr.log:
Failed to process package XXX001CE after 4 retries, will retry 96 more times SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER 2332 (0x091C)
My question is will it clean up the orphan data at that time in the tables like:
pkgservers, pkgstatus and DPInfo tables.
I would rather not modify the tables directly as MS does not recommend playing
with the DB :)
Thanks,
Ward.
