Hello all,
For the last 2 weeks I have been fighting ore secondary server that will not download a software updates package. It continues to say "install pending" I keep seeing the same message in the Distmgr.log on the secondary server. I have checked the despoil.log, sender.log and replmgr.log and do not see anything that sticks out as being a error. I have other packages that can be sent to this distribution point without any problems so I know the permissions are ok. I have removed the packaged and added it back a few times and waiting day between removing it and adding it back.
This all started when the drive ran low on space and this was the package that ran the drive out of space. My best clue is in the distmgr.log file I see it says package JFG0001ED requires a newer version (5) and the current version is 4. The problem is the distmgr.log file on the primary server is trying to push version 8 and that is the current version going to the other distribution points. It appears that the secondary server is trying to get an different version than the primary server is serving up.
I have also removed the distribution point role from the secondary server and added it back. I'm pretty sure recreating the package will fix the issue but since it is an update package it is almost 5GB that I would have to resend to 40 other DPs.
