IanLeach Posted November 11, 2011 Report post Posted November 11, 2011 Good morning guys, I'm having problems getting a DP to behave as expected. Let me explain... We have a Primary site server and have attempted to create a DP on another server. The site server registers under the PRI site code in Site Systems but doesn't show up as a Site Component whos status I can check. The DP role has been added in the usual fashion. When I try to distribute packages to the new DP, it tries to install the package but then moves to a status of Install Retrying and does not create the SMSPKG$ share on the DP server. The Primary has the machine account of the DP server in local admins and the 2 SMS groups. The DP server has the Primary's machine account in local admins. What am I missing guys? Ian.

IanLeach Posted November 24, 2011 Report post Posted November 24, 2011 I can tell you what I was missing in case anyone else has this issue: Remote Differential Compression is the answer! The server was missing this pre-requisite, even though the prereq checker ran without issues and proceeded to install the site systems.
