SMS Distribution Manager failed to process package

[rotem]

hello, i installed a new DP for my sccm site, i had few problems but i fixed them (PXE,share...) i manage to copy my boot images into the dp just fine...

but im having a problem that i cant solve , im trying to transfer one of my win7 images and im keeping getting failure events..

here is the major one i think , from the SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER query status messgae viewer:

 

SMS Distribution Manager failed to process package "ver 5.6_220810_1330" (package ID = IL00004E).

Possible cause: Distribution manager does not have access to either the package source directory or the distribution point.

Solution: Verify that distribution manager can access the package source directory/distribution point.

 

Possible cause: The package source directory contains files with long file names and the total length of the path exceeds the maximum length supported by the operating system.

Solution: Reduce the number of folders defined for the package, shorten the filename, or consider bundling the files using a compression utility.

 

Possible cause: There is not enough disk space available on the site server computer or the distribution point.

Solution: Verify that there is enough free disk space available on the site server computer and on the distribution point.

 

Possible cause: The package source directory contains files that might be in use by an active process.

Solution: Close any processes that maybe using files in the source directory. If this failure persists, create an alternate copy of the source directory and update the package source to point to it.

 

 

and here is the 2nd error that it shows:

 

Failed to create virtual directory on the defined share or volume on distribution point "["Display=\\ild529\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=IL0"]\\ild529\".

 

Possible cause: Distribution Manager requires that IIS base components be installed on the local SMS Site Server in order to create the virtual directory. Distribution Manager also requires that IIS Web Services be installed on the Distribution Point Server that needs to support Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS).

Solution: Verify that IIS base components are installed on the local SMS Site Server, and IIS Web Services are installed on the Distribution Point Server.

 

i installed BITS on the DP (running on server 2003 r2)..

 

thanks for the help!

can you check if IIS is installed and configured correctly ?

 

what does the distmgr.log says ? are you using standard DP or server share DP ?

well IIS is installed , i think its configured correctly ...im not sure 100% what is need to be config ...

the DP is standard not a branch, and its a standard server not a share (i didnt config it as a share , but he use one for the PXE role)

dismgr gave me a weird error..but now its gone and another one replaced it:

Hi,

 

Just had the same problem. All worked fine until we implemented Firewall rules via policies last week. I found this link "http://scug.dk/blogs/configurationmanager/archive/2009/09/22/hmmm-the-firewall-once-again.aspx". I only changed this FW rule on the DP server, not the primary site server and everything started working again.

 

Very strange because I can not find any documentation (yet) from MS which states that we need this rule.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Rgds, Ton
