Re: Incorrect Package Status

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

You can force a refresh by going to that package in the MMC and clicking on
Distribution Points. Then right click on your problem server and choose
"All Tasks" then "Refresh Distribution Point". This will cause the source
to be copied to that distribution server again and the status messages that
go with that.

To force the same thing for all of them right click on "Distribution Points"
and choose "Update Distribution Points". This will increase the version
number of the source, but that is generally not a big deal unless people are
running the software right now.
