Re: Distibution Point on Netapp filer

I was successful in setting up a Windows XP Pro SP2 computer to be used as a
“Server Share” site system with the distribution point role.
Kim, What I meant was that if a netapp can be used, I would think an xppro
machine could be used as well when I made the statement “It's a network
share, it shouldn't matter whether or not it's a xp machine or a Network
Appliance.”
Using the remote site as a remote roaming boundary with a protected
distribution point (the xp machine).

Hi,.
After openening an incident at Microsoft Product Support the official
statement is that only Windows Server systems are supported as DP's. So
NetApp filers are not... even though it holds normal shares. At least one
requirement is that a share exists as ADMIN$ although this is not mentioned
in any of the official SMS 2003 documentation.

Sure it matters, xp machines are not supported as distribution points.
what does the sitecomp.log tell you? or distmgr.log for that matter.

Great,
Almost a month and still nobody answered this one. I'm having similar
problem where I want to user \\server\share on a windows XP machine to act
as
a DP without BITS. It's a network share, it shouldn't matter whether or
not
it's a xp machine or a Network Appliance.

Guy,
Thanks for your reply, but I still can't get it to work. What I have done
is
the following:
1. I have created a share on the filer and shared it as "DP$"
2. Created a new folder in DP$ called ADMIN and shared this as ADMIN$
Can you help me out with this? What do I wrong?
Thanks.
Sander.

I just worked through the same issue and managed to resolve it by
creating an ADMIN$ share on the filer. Its pointing to the same
location as the DP (which is empty) which leads me to believe that
what's important is its existence and not its location.

Kim,
Thanks for your reply. I have tested this also with an SMS server and
Netapp
filer in an environment without firewall restrictions and all servers
in the
same forest/domain.
Still I get an access denied error while the SMS server is a member
of the
local administrator group on the filer and has full control on the DP
share.

Computer account authentication is always kerberos authentication.
Kerberos
authentication over external trusts is not possible.

Kim,
The trust type is "External" and not transitive.

Do these forests have trusts to one another? Are they transitive
trusts?
Cross-forest site systems is not supported. But will definitely
not work
without trusts.

Bernie,
Thanks for your reply. The SMS site servers are a member of
the local
administrator group of the Netapp filers. What do you exactly
mean
with
"components" for this Netapp filer?
Sander.

Sander,
A couple of things to check:
1. Has the system got the appropriate components for the O/S
installed.
2. Does the Site Server System account (assuming you're using
Advanced
security) have admin rights on the server.

Hi,
I want to use a share on a filer as a distribution point.
The filer
is
in
a
different forest then the SMS server. From the SMS server I
can
browse
to
the
share, but if I create the share in SMS Site Systems it
cannot
connect...
Does anyone has some suggestion how to get this working?
Thanks.
Sander.
