Re: Package Cannot Be Located

Dawn,

I'd first check that the new Secondary Site server has been configured as a
Proxy Management Point and that the System Management container in AD has the
new entry and that the entry for the old server is no longer there.

I'd then install a new client and check that it picked up the new MP data.
The old clients SHOULD find the new MP from AD (they are in the AD?).

Assuming that that goes okay I'd next try reassigning one of the failing
clients (Control Panel --> Systems Management --> Advanced --> Site
Assignment.

It should find its current site but the refresh should also allow it to
discover the correct MP information.

Hi Bernie,

So it looks like the clients remembering the old server is the problem. I
know you mentioned that It sounds as if there's still an entry in the System
Management Container for the previous server. Do you know where it would
store that information since I though I had deleted the old site and all the
info correctly. Is there also anything with the client that would hold this
info as well? I tried to re-install the client on one of the pcs but it is
still refering to the old server.

Thanks!

Hi Bernie,

I flipped the switch to have the child site be a Management Point this
morning. Now it looks like Apache (for another product) is using port 80
already in IIS on that child site server. So I'm not sure if that was the
problem all along. I will find out on Tuesday if we can remove Apache and
then I'll try it again.

I'll let you know what happens. Thanks for all your help!!

Dawn,

yes you often see the first two lines in CAS log as errors, I think it's
just a timing issue.

It's normal to configure a Secondary Site Server as a Proxy Management
Point
so that it can handle Advanced Clients which are local to it. If you've
replaced the server does the new server have write permission on the
System
Management Container in AD so that it can write its record in?

It sounds as if there's still an entry in the System Management Container
for the previous server - I'd get rid of that as if the clients are being
given that as the MP they won't be getting the information they need to
identify the DPs they should be using.

Hi Bernie,

Thanks for the help, sorry I didn't respond sooner, I was out
yesterday.

There were errors in the cas.log. I guess the GetLogonUserSid failed
error
is fairly common (although thry didn't say what it was).

Here is the other one:

Failed to get DP locations from LS for content ABC0004A.1 and location
request {7DEE7B13-09A2-4881-8CDA-AAC4CC291A37}. I could not find any
postings about this error. The DP seems to be installed fine, because
when I
send a new package, it processes it correctly.

The locationservices.log, it didn't appear to have any errors. It
states
the current AD site of the machine (which is correct).

Retrieved Proxy Management Point from AD: {siteserver}
Attempting to retrieve local MP from AD
Current AD site of machine is LA
Retrieved local Management Point from AD: {previous child server name}

So it looks like it is still trying to communicate with the preivous
child
site. I had uninstalled the site after installing the new child site.
Was I
supposed to re-install the advanced client on all the machines again?

Also, am I supposed to have the child site setup as a management point?
I
don't think the previous site was setup as one.

Thanks again for the help!!

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.

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!
