RE: Package Cannot Be Located

Dawn,

A couple to look at on the client c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs:
cas.log (Content Access Service log file) shows an advanced client accessing
package content or advertised programs from a Distribution Point. The log
shows if the advanced client can find the Distribution Point and whether or
not the client can access the content on the Distribution Point

locationservices.log will tell whether or not client is getting information
about the DPs holding the package. Will also give information on AD / SMS
site assignments and the MP being used.

HTH,

Bernie

Hi Bernie,

Thanks for the response. I checked the boundries and the subnet, and both
seem to be fine. I am not getting any errors within the Site Status. I was
getting them previously because IIS and BITS was not installed on the child
site, so I though that was the problem. The child site is processing the
package, and the machines are getting the advertisement. Do happen to know a
log file I can look at to see where one of these clients are trying to
connect to?

Thanks!

Dawn,

Not sure why the first post arrived empty - I'd go back and check your
boundaries and subnet definiitions, when I've seen that message it's always
been a boundaries issue.

Hello,

I have a seconardy site setup as a distribution point. I create the package
and it successfully makes it to the secondary site. But when the clients run
the package, I get the status of "The program for advertisement "ABC20075
has not yet started because the content for the package "ABC0004A" has not
been acquired. After a few days, it eventually fails saying the package
could not be located. I can see the ABC0004A directory and contents in the
D:\SMSPKGD$\ folder.

This secondary site is new (we had to replace our server) with a different
name than the clients had been connecting to previously. Would that matter?
The site boundaries are set correctly.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
