Mark,
Binary Differential Replication (BDR) is required for Application objects, however it is optional for Package (and similar) objects. In other words, you can't completely get away from using BDR. This is documented in the ConfigMgr TechNet documentation. I actually remember just tweeting about this the other day. http://www.twitter.com/pcgeek86/status/403950915641958400 I don't know exactly what you'll find in those logs, but it's worth looking. Perhaps content transfer is failing here and there, and is "retrying" . just a theory. I have never personally seen that, but you have to start data gathering somewhere. Here is a Technical Reference for log files related specifically (anchor link) to Content Management in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427342.aspx#BKMK_ContentLog Cheers, Trevor Sullivan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kent, Mark Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2013 3:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] Hash errors The DP's are Server 2012, not pull distribution points. Would the logs show errors even though the DP points report that the packages were copied successfully? I saw a note online about turning off binary differential replication for images. I have that turned on but I can turn it off. I could see what policies are being applied. Thanks!

Are all your Distribution Points fully patched? Are you using client or server operating systems for DPs? Are you using Pull DPs? You'd probably want to look at the distmgr.log, pkgxfermgr.log, sender.log, and related log files for starters. I've been pretty fortunate with ConfigMgr 2012 thus far, so hopefully this is just an environmental thing for you. Have you examined your GPOs that are applying to your DPs, to see if there are any odd settings configured in them? Might be good to do a quick audit of that, just to see if there is anything obvious.

I seem to get an inordinate number of them happening. I have excluded SCEP from scanning the DP's but they still occur. This is frustrating. I was hoping this crap would have ended when we moved away from SCCM2007. We are on SCCM2012 R2 running on Server 2012. The servers are running on VMWare 5.1 with an Equilogic iSCSI backend.
