1.      You may want to make sure your packages are not set to update on a
schedule, temporarily, until you are able to place known good source files
into the source directory. When you copy new files into the source
directory, nothing happens until a package is either updated in SCCM
manually or through the set schedule if there is one set on the package.
Also, if the package is set to always obtain files from the source
directory, then even a package refresh action will also go looking back to
the source directory.

 

2.      Unfortunately I can't answer question 2, but If you have a long term
DPM backup to tape you may want to see if you can get the last known good
backup, especially if you're able to zoom in on roughly when the issue
started.

Subject: [mssms] Corrupted SCCM package source

 

Good morning,

 

Due to issues with our SAN/server team that I won't get into - my SCCM
package source directory structure it corrupt.  Files are all there but if
you try to copy any of the files out or run any .exe's or .msi's they are
all bad.  So... fortunately current packages run OK since they run from the
DP.   The obvious concern is updating existing packages or versioning them
since it will try to rebuild from source.  I think I'm stuck with finding
new copies of the sources and replacing them.

 

So.questions:

 

1.        As long as the path stays the same and the files are good, the
packages themselves shouldn't care if I copy new files..so I should be good
there?

2.       Any tips/tricks with drivers??  They are enough of a pain anyway
now I'm not looking forward to dealing with the versioning of those again.

3.       Has this happened to anybody else before?  If so what did you do?
Other than cry or just go out for coffee and then cry.

 

Thanks,

Casey
