James,
Thanks for the feedback. That's helpful to know. I'm assuming that all the files in SMSPKG$ beyond just the .PCKs are necessary, including the delta replication files, correct?

It only worked on standard software packages. Thanks, James Massardo From: Trevor Sullivan <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Reply-To: "[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> " <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Date: Friday, May 10, 2013 9:08 AM To: "[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> " <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: [mssms] ConfigMgr 2007 SP2: Replace Secondary Site with Distribution Point Hey folks, I'm replacing a ConfigMgr 2007 SP2 Secondary Site with a pure Distribution Point role, on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 operating system. I would like to ensure that I do not have to re-copy all the packages across the wire, although it wouldn't be the end of the world if that did happen. The network pipe to the remote site is fairly sizable. Can anyone vet these directions, and see if I'm missing anything? 1. Record the Site Boundaries assigned to the Secondary Site 2. Remove the Site Boundaries from the Secondary Site 3. Add the Site Boundaries to the Primary Site 4. If you wish to re-use the Secondary Site as a Distribution Point, make a backup of the .PCK files in the SMSPKG$ folder 5. Uninstall the site from the ConfigMgr console a. Note: Avoid using the "Delete this site" option, as it will leave the Secondary Site components installed on the Secondary Site server. It's better to just do a fresh installation, if you're going to move the site. 6. Delete any Addresses pointing to the Secondary Site 7. Install the Distribution Point role 8. Run the preloadpkgonsite.exe tool for each .PCK file in the backed up SMSPKG$ folder 9. Associate the Distribution Point with each appropriate Package object in the Configuration Manager console a. Note: This can be done via PowerShell script as well, to save time and avoid human errors. Thanks in advance for your review.
