RE: sms 2003 - secondary site cleanup

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



As a short-term solution, you can delete files in the smspkg folder. Those
are the compressed files transmitted by other servers, and then extracted to
the smspkgd$ folder. The reason to keep them is that if you have changes to
an existing package, only a delta file would be sent across your network. If
you delete them, if you have a change to an existing package, the entire
source has to be compressed & sent again.

The long term solution is to get larger drives for that secondary.

Of course, package management at the source is a good choice as well. If
you know that site no longer needs a package, just remove it from that DP in
your console; and it will be deleted at the secondary in a few minutes.
