I have a DP on the other side of the world that has been acting up lately. I distribute packages to other DPs fine, but some of the packages don't ever show up as "installed" on my sccm 2007 console. They stay in "Install Pending".
Looking at the status messages, I see a ton of information messages:
2300 - beginning to process...
2342 - starting to process...
2301 - completed processing successfully...
These repeat over and over and over into the thousands for the same few packages. When I examine the distmgr.log on the primary site server, I don't see it having issues sending to this DP. When I examine sender.log I see it writing to the DP successfully. On the dp (which is in a secondary site), I see the distmgr.log go through spurts of processing a ton of the mentioned packages, but never completing or finishing. On a lot of them I see that the versions are wrong.
I've been looking at other suggestions, and I might try the PreloadPkgonSite tool. However in looking at the distmgr\incoming inbox on my secondary site/dp, there are a bunch of xxx.pkg files (nothing in the Incoming\bad folder). These .pkg files aren't named the same as my package ids in question, but when i examine the contents they reference the packages in plain text.
My question is: Should I delete (or move) these .pkg files in the inboxes\distmgr.box\incoming folder on my secondary/dp? I don't see these files on other sites, just this one, and there are a lot, but only a dozen or so recently.
