Hello and thanks for this helpful forum!
I am trying to configure a server share as a Distribution Point and am running into problems. I am running SCCM R2 on Server 2008. I am trying to use a clustered share coming from 2008 R2 Failover Cluster.
I have been trying to get this working for the better part of 2 days now, and I have successfully created a Distribution Point to another 2008 Server (non-R2) by simply using the site system (not the server share).
When I try to use the server share option, I keep receiving an error with Message ID 4701 stating that the SMS Site System Status Summarizer cannot access storage object\\servername\sharename$ on site system\\servername\sharename$
The operating system reported error 2147942467: The network name cannot be found.
The server share is defined as a site system as \\servername\sharename$
I am trying to create a "Packages" directory under it, so I'm using the option "Share the distribution folder" under the Data Access tab of the Package.
In addition, I have given local admin rights to the site server on both nodes of the cluster. I have given the site server modify rights to the share and NTFS permissions. I have given Authenticated Users Read access to the share and NTFS.
As I mentioned, I can take another server and define a Site System as a DP and everything will work properly. I am still missing something though regarding using a Server Share.
Thanks so much in advance for your assistance.
