Re: Ran ccmclean on site server, what are implications???

It will not fix the DP found problem but it will fix the problem with
updating the server and other information. If the content is not up-to-date
then the client will not download it. To run the sync the next time. Do a
manaul update on the package and send it to the DPs. Then tell the sync tool
to run. This way the package is updated, sync will run and it will update
the package again (for the next run).

Also copy the sync in to a batch file or cmd file and run it from the
command line to see if the program will run manually. Watch the sycn log in
the ccm folder to see what happens...


If this works then you can work backwards to make sure it works thru sms.

Hi Matthew,
i dont think that its set to autoupdate after the sync runs.

I can understand that the package should update on a schedule since a new
cab file could have been downloaded but so far i havent seen sync tool run
succesfully so far.

If i turn update on schedule for the Microsoft Update tool on say like 30
minutes after sync tool runs will that fix the waiting status for sync tool
advertisement? And that issue with CAS.log stating no DP point found?

Do you have the package autoupdating after the sync runs. If you have the
sync runningat 3:30pm every patch tuesday then set the package to
autoupdate
at say 4:00pm or shorter.

Great,that means running ccmclean & delcert, deleting the old sms account
id
that became obsolete shouldnt effect sms operations.

Thanks alot

Now back to why i tried uninstalling sms client.
Im trying to run Microsoft Sync Tool on the site server.

When i try to run advertisement for Sync tool in Advertisement status it
lists:
************************
The program for advertisement "SUR20001 has not yet started because the
content for the package "SUR0000C" - "Microsoft Updates Tool Sync"
(version
4) has not been acquired. Possible cause: The content for this program
must
be downloaded into the computer's cache, or the content could not be
located.
Solution: If the program is being downloaded, no action is required. The
program will start once the download has been successfully completed. If
the
content can not be located, ensure that a distribution point with this
content is available for this computer. Distribution point availability
can
be affected by roaming boundary configuration which is used to determine
whether distribution points are classified as local or remote, or by
enabling distribution points as protected distribution points.
**************************
When i run report "Status of a specific advertisment" on Sync tool i have
alot of waiting.
I checked CAS.log and this is what it states:
*******************

*************************

The advertisemen with the same package with Microsoft Tool program runs
without problems on two test clients on a daily basis but the Sync tool
program/advertisement doesnt run succesfully, keeps reporting waiting.

Since the Sync tool runs on the site server that also is dp i do not
understand how it cannot locate a matching DP (according to CAS.log)

Anyone have an idea why this might occur and how to resolve this?

I even ran the syncxml.exe /s /site SURAPP003 /code SUR /package SUR0000C
/target \\SURAPP003\PackageSrc
under system account in a cmd box and it ran successfully.

The SMS Cache of sms client on sms site resides in D:\SMS_CCM\Cache as
far
as i can tell ( is this correct or is there a way to check for its
location)
and that folder remains empty.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi again,
i just checked and the old sms id of the site server listing all its
role
is stated as obsolete and inactive :S.

Does anyone know if this affect SMS operations or that its just a sms
record that can be deleted without effecting sms itself?



Assuming you see this in one of the collections, than it is just a
client
record and shouldn't harm the rest of your sms functions in any way.
