Help with adding a server share for distributing packages

Question

Hi all,

 

We have another site containing 5 machines. These 5 machines need office 2003 upgrading to 2007. Already have the package done and dusted but can't get any kind of branch distribution point / server share thingy setup.

 

I have added a new server share and pointed to the c:\smspkgc$ share on the remote server. This share has both share and ntfs set for everyone/full. Soon as I get it working I'll start restricting it. If I just do a straight windows copy from sscm server > remote server it works fine so it's not a permissions issue. Can't understand why SCCM can't do a simple copy LOL

 

The distribution point appears on my office 2007 package and I have gone to copy package wizard. Unfortunately nothing is getting copied across.

 

Thanks for your help!!

 

ERROR

======

 

SMS Distribution Manager failed to process package "Office 2007 SP2" (package ID = LIN0007A).

 

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.
