SCCM Client needs unlimited time to download Software

[Marlon]

Hello,

 

I recently installed a SCCM 2007 R3 on a fresh installed "Windows Server 2008 R2" server. My test client is a virtual Windows 7 Enterprise computer. The SCCM seems to work correctly and I am even able to install some software packages like VLC, Firefox or Flash. BUT in some cases The download takes endless time. This behavior depends from package to package. Some big packages like CorelDRAW Graphics Suite or Microsoft Office are working flawlessly and some other packages like Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio will just need endless time to complete downloading the package from the distribution point.

All of the packages are stored directly on the SCCM HDD and every package was created exactly in the same way. I am really puzzled about this strange behavior.

 

Thanks,

Marlon

Have you checked to see if Binary Differential Replication is turned on. I have experienced issues with this. Hope it helps

Hi,

 

BDR was turned off, but turning it on doesn't change anything. The download is still stopping after some time.

Do you have BITS enabled DPs?

Also did you look at the network traffic in/out the site server?

[Marlon]

Hi,

 

BITS is disabled and the network utilization is about 0.01% (from 100Mbit).

I solved the problem. The problem was that I forgot to allow some file extensions in %Windir%\System32\Inetsrv\Config\applicationHost.config.

After that everything seems to be ok.
