Re: Packages and Distribution Points

Hi Bruce,

That can easily be done with at small script. Have a look in the SMS 2003
SDK for info. If I remeber correct I have seen such a script at
myitforum.com . Have a look there.

Hope this helps

Hi All,

I have around 200 packages being delivered via SMS 2003 into our computing
environment. I want to remove a large number (not all) of packages from
one
distribution point and send them to another. I can achieve this only by
individualy managing the distribution point for each package.

Because I have so many packages to reconfigure the distribution points
for,
I was hoping that the "braniacs" out there may have a more automated way
of
doing the same job.

It seems to me that SMS 2003 would benefit from a function allowing the
selection of multiple packages when there is need to modify distribution
points on this scale.

All the best
Bruce
