Subject: RE: [mssms] SCCM Distribution Point migration issue
Jeff,
I ran into this with my migration. After weeks of this process going on and on
with MS Premiere we found a setting in WMI that resolved this issue. The way
we saw this was through DPU files continuing to show up meaning that the
migration had kicked off again. This is what is re-evaluating all the software
on the migrated DP.
Here are the steps MS sent us.
How to set DPFlags:
1. Open up an administrative command prompt on ConfigMgr 2012 Primary Site
Server
2. Type wbemtest and hit enter to open up the tool.
3. Click Connect and in the box type root\sms\site_[SITECODE] and click on
Connect again.
4. Click the query button and Enter the following query: select * from
SMS_SCI_SysResUse
5. In the list that populates, you’ll see entries that begin with
SMS_SCI_SysResUse.FileType=2,ItemName= "[\"Display=\\\\<servername>\\\"]...
The servername highlighted above should match the DP server for which we want
to make that change. Additionally, if you scroll further towards the right,
you’ll find the various roles that are installed on that server listed (each
will be a different line item in the list). You need to choose the one that
says "SMS Distribution Point".
6. Now, double click on the selected item to open up its properties.
7. In the window that comes up, you’ll have three boxes with the middle one
having the properties. Put a check in Hide System Properties.
8. Scroll down in the list in the middle box and double click on the Property
"Props".
9. In the Property editor window, click on the button that says View Embedded.
10. Now, there will be a complete list of all the properties of the
Distribution Point, each looking like "SMS_EmbeddedProperty=<no key>".
11. You will need to find the entry with the PropertyName showing DPFlags by
double clicking each entry. (Don’t save any changes yet)
12. Once you have this entry pulled up, double click on the property called
"Value" and set it to “0” in the window that comes up.
13. Once the above is done, click the Save Property button and then Save Object
in the rest of the dialogs to ensure that the change that was made takes effect.
14. Wait for at least 5 minutes
15. Delete .DPU file for specific DP if exist
16. To take effect you have to restart the “SMSExec” service on the ConfigMgr
2012 Primary Site Server
I also modified this vbscript to evaluate which dps have the incorrect setting.
WE had hundreds of DP’s so this was helpful as this is a very manual process.
I have attached this script and renamed it to .txt.
Hope this helps you.

I can't provide any help other than the fact that I see this in an environment
I migrated as well. If anyone has insight or suggestions, I would also be
grateful!
Thanks,
Jeff

We are in the process of moving from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 and have started
Distribution Point migrations. SCCM 2012 reported "completed reassign
distribution point" and there were entries in the smsdpprov.log showing that
the packages were migrated. We thought the process had completed successfully,
but soon after, the following entries was written in the smsdpprov.log for
every package:
Importing package XXXXXX as content XXXXXX.1 into SIS from source
\\<DPserver>\SMSPKGE$\XXXXXX<file:///\\%3cDPserver%3e\SMSPKGE$\XXXXXX>
Failed to access source
The "failed to access source" makes sense, since the 2007 package folder no
longer exists because it was migrated and then deleted by the migration job.
This has repeated over and over again (from every few minutes to 30-60 minute
intervals) since the migration job was first run. The server has been restarted
since the migration. It's like the migration job is running over and over again.
We are running SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 on Server 2008 R2.
Any ideas on how to clean this up? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
