Slow Deployment of Advertised Software

[FN-GM]

Hello,

 

I have setup SCCM 2007 following the great guides on this site! When deploying the applications its taking hours to deploy. In the graph in software distribution its just sitting on not started. I have selected "run as soon as possible" on the schedule on the advertisement.

 

Is there any way i can speed things up please?

 

Thanks

Just has a look in the logs i am getting messages like. Would this be slowing things please?

 

he program for advertisement "FPH20004 has not yet started because the content for the package "FPH00007" - "Install" (version 8) has not been acquired. Possible cause: The content for this program must be downloaded into the computer's cache, or the content could not be located.

Solution: If the program is being downloaded, no action is required. The program will start once the download has been successfully completed. If the content can not be located, ensure that a distribution point with this content is available for this computer. Distribution point availability can be affected by roaming boundary configuration which is used to determine whether distribution points are classified as local or remote, or by enabling distribution points as protected distribution points. Distribution point availability can also be affected if you are using branch distribution points and the advertisement is configured with the option Run program from distribution point instead of Download content from distribution point and run locally. This is because branch distribution points do not support advertisements that are configured to run directly from a distribution point.

The only thing I found so far on this issue is that BITS is throttling the deployment. System Center Configuration Manager | Site Database (your site) | Site Management | (your site code and name) | Site Settings | Client Agents | Computer Client Agent, BITS Tab. It was originally set to run at 20 Kbps during work hours and I bumped it to 5000 Kbps (Still testing this setting). I hope this helps.
