ecornwell Posted September 11, 2012 Report post Posted September 11, 2012 Hello, We've been testing Configuration Manager 2012 for a little while and ran into a problem. We've been using it to build a few systems and wanted to add a system type. We downloaded and added a driver pack like we'd done before but it won't distribute. The error we get is that it failed to access the source directory and lists one of the directories. The possible causes are that the DP doesn't have the rights to get to the folder or that it is out of disk space. We've checked both and there is plenty of drive space and the contents have the same security as everything else. We've spent a few hours on it and aren't really sure where to go next. Can someone provide some assistance? Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter van der Woude Posted September 11, 2012 Report post Posted September 11, 2012 Is it maybe a really deep folder structure? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneone Posted September 12, 2012 Report post Posted September 12, 2012 Is it on a remote DP or is it on the local sccm DP? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecornwell Posted September 12, 2012 Report post Posted September 12, 2012 It is on the local SCCM DP. I thought about that too. We can path to it fine on the server. The path isn't that bad: \\SCCMServer\Drivers\HP8300x64 The driver folders are a little longer but we've done the exact same thing with similar names 4 other times with no issues.

ecornwell Posted September 14, 2012 Report post Posted September 14, 2012 We found this in the distmgr.log file... TakeContentSnapshot() failed. Error = 0x80040154 SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER 9/14/2012 11:10:48 AM 2924 (0x0B6C) The source directory doesn't exist or the 'Configuration Manager' service cannot access it, Win32 last error = 340 SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER 9/14/2012 11:10:48 AM 2924 (0x0B6C) It also seems like any new content we add right now gets the same error. Edit: We also setup another DP on the same LAN and all the old content will distribute just fine but nothing new will go.

ecornwell Posted September 14, 2012 Report post Posted September 14, 2012 Found the problem!!! Remote Differential Compression was uninstalled by a domain policy. As soon as we re-installed it, it started working like a charm! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
