I would like to disable the distribution role of my central/primary/secondary sites, and instead use server shares (On the same server as each site itself, I'm just creating the DP as a server share to control it's location.) . I've had the server shares containing all our jobs for months now, but it sucks when someone creates a package, and either by accident or misknowledge, adds the site server's distribution role instead of the server share's one.

So what I want to know is... can doing this have some other affects? Hopefully I've been clear here....
Are your distribution points bits-enabled?

Hum, then I am afraid that if you disable the dp on the server that the virtual directory will be deleted which would kill the dp on the server share as well.
