Prior to my arrival it was standard practice to use a custom share folder when distributing packages. From the console this is in thepackage properties window on the data access tab. They were instructed to selectShare the distribution folder (2nd radio button) and provide aShare name of CommonRootFolder\Vendor_Application_Version. SCCM then creates a share called CommonRootFolder and a folder under that.
Recently we were getting complaints that users were not getting software at our branches. While troubleshooting we discovered that all of our branch distribution points no longer have the CommonRootFolder share. To fix that issue we're updating a small package which seems to recreate the share, but was wondering if anyone has ever heard of this happening.
