Custom Distribution Point Shares Copied to New DP

[robemann83]

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help point me in the right direction.

I am replacing old 2008 R2 MP/DPs with new 2016 Servers.
The old servers have custom shares on the root of the DP Drive(TOOLS$ for example).

These custom Shares are copied over as a result of adding the new DPs into the DP Groups to update content.
There is no Package Deployment in SCCM to create these shares on the new DP.  Nothing is deployed to any of the Collections that these DPs are a part of that create these shares.
Plus, the new DPs do not have the SCCM Client installed yet as I am trying to force all logs.
So the process of copying over these Custom Shares only happens as a result of adding the New MP/DP servers to the DP Groups for syncing content.
NOTE: The New MP/DP Servers are set as Pull Distribution Points.

I would expect as part of adding the New DPs to the DP Groups and being set as a Pull DP that they would update Content and Pull from the assigned DP.

What I am trying to figure out is how, with no deployment, are the Custom Shares being copied to the root of the DP Drive on the New Server.

This is not a huge problem except I would like to update this process to include new tools to sync across DPs.

Any help is appreciated to point me in the right direction.  Just trying to understand what is managing this copy process of Custom Shares to a new DP.
NOTE: This is only for Custom Shares at the root of the DP Drive.  It does no sync the non-shared folders at the root of the DP drive.

 

Thanks
