Re: Distribution points update

I have created the but file which supposed to run a number of updates on clients and created a package program that will start this bat when all the files are downloaded from distribution point. Having started deployment we've found that some of machines were sent to restart then we've update the bat-file, not to restart the systems event if they need to. After this took Update Distribution Points on the package container in SMS console in hope SMS will upload updated bat-file on clients. But i still see clients receiving the wrong bat-file.

Could I force an update of distribution points or how can I just check if the distribution point is updated with new bat-file? Quick help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In system status package status check the package version, and the last update time.
