Add files in SMSPKGR share on DP manually?

[SpecialK]

Hello,

 

first, let me introduce myself: I'm a 30 year old IT Administrator from germany. I'm relatively new to SCCM. After a microsoft training and much testing in a test environment I'm now supporting our SCCM team. So there are SCCM related questions from time to time. Most of them I can solve with testing or looking for corresponding articles. But now there is one where I need your help:

 

We have a big Office 2010 multilingual package deployed through all the sites. Now I had to change one little xml file in the package. But for some reasons, I can't schedule a redeploy to all DPs before the weekend. But it would be great If I could have the file at least on one DP before the weekend. So apart from scheduling, I thought, that I can cop the file manually directly to the right folder on the DP in the SMSPKGR share.

But our concern is that this leads to unknown problems for example on the next planed redeploy on the weekend when SCCM tries to copy the file to the share.

Has anyone of you any experiences (good or bad) with copying files manually to the share? Is this a "no go" or an acceptable way for what I want?

 

Best regards

It's a no go and it won't work either, as the client will never know that the sources are there. The client checks with the MP (which checks the DB) for available locations and if you manually copy files it's never registered and in the wrong format. Why not just schedule the deployment to one DP alone, if that's all you want??

Hello,

 

thanks for your input. So the MP has an info about every single file in a package in the database? In my case, the package is already distributed to the DP. I just wand to add a little xml file in an (office) subfolder.

But ok, if this a no go, I wait for the already scheduled deployment this weekend.

 

Best regards
