Troubleshooting steps for advertisements that never runs

[Sana]

Hello,

 

I am very new to the SCCM world. I am having trouble with advertisements. Even though I have advertised applications before I never had any problems. This is a new environment, I am testing the distribution on one of my test machines. I am configuring the advertisements in the same traditional way but they are not running at all. I even tried changing some options.

 

I tried uninstalling the client and re installing it. That worked only for one advertisement and it was installed perfectly. But when I tried to advertise 2 more applications to the same client they never start running and no status updates. I checked logs and there is no activity at all. But they are installed on the DP. I have been reading so many blogs and nothing really helped.

 

Any other troubleshooting steps?

 

Please help.

 

Thanks

Sana

Did you look at the execmgr.log?

[Sana]

They failed with hash mismatch error.

Did you refresh the Distribution Points?

[Sana]

Yes. I did.

Updating the distribution point worked for some of those failed applications. But few of them struck at waiting status. When I checked cache the source was not downloaded completely. I tried creating new advertisements but it did not help. Same hing happening again and again. What should I do now?

 

Thanks
