Re: Lock on distribution points

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Just out of curiosity, we are thinking of putting together a "visual
glossary" for v4, to show what some of these icons mean. Are there any icons
in SMS 2003 (besides this one) that have confused you, that you would to see
documented in a help file somewhere?

The "Lock" is a ICON that is displayed because the package is "Managed"
by the "PARENT" server. If you have a package that is built on another
server then pushed down to a Child/Seccondary site it will show up with
a "LOCK" on it because you need to go to the source server to remove
the package or make modifications to it from the source server "The
Parent Server is your SMS site"...

I hope this helps.

When I am trying to remove a package from one of the distribution points,
I
notice that there is a lock on some of the distribution points. The lock
actually appears as part of the icon if I go to the package ->
Distribution
Points. Then, when I right click the distribution point with the lock,
the
"Delete" option does not show up on the menu and All Tasks -> Refresh
Distribution Point is also grey'd out. I am not sure what has gone
wrong.
Any idea how to remove the lock?
Thanks.
