ConfigMgr 2012 R2 CU2 I believe per:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Setup
    Version    REG_SZ    7958
    Full Version    REG_SZ    5.00.7958.1000
    UI Version    REG_SZ    7958
    Phase    REG_DWORD    0x1c7

    User    REG_SZ
    Organization    REG_SZ
    Type    REG_DWORD    0x1
    ReplicationMode    REG_DWORD    0x0

    CULevel    REG_DWORD    0x2
    PrerequisiteDir    REG_SZ    E:\UpgradetoR2\SetupDL

IMO irrelevant but since I was there here is my SENDER Properties:

Subject: [mssms] Distribution Bottleneck

Was wondering if anyone here understands Distribution better than I as this is 
really frustrating:

Basically I keep running into the same issue, every time I send a large package 
out it seems to bottle-neck everything else, even little things get stuck 
waiting for this huge package to complete.

My environment is Primary Site, 3-4 DPs that get content directly from PRI, 2 
PULL DPs that pull from one of the former DPs.

WNCNLSCCMDP01 is a PULL DP, here its full status from the [Distribution Point 
Configuration Status] view in Monitoring:

        12/3/2014 8:52:00 AM    Distributing content    Distribution Manager 
instructed Package Transfer manager to send package "LF1001E7" to distribution

    In Progress     LF1001E7
        12/2/2014 3:29:00 PM    Processing content on site server       
Distribution Manager successfully processed package "Workstations_PatchUp_2014"

        12/3/2014 9:17:00 AM    Content is being distributed to the

distribution package LF10021B to distribution point server 
WNCNLSCCMDP01.CM12ROCKS.LAN, 89 percent of the sending has already completed. 
In Progress     LF10021B
        12/3/2014 2:34:00 AM    Processing content on site server       
Distribution Manager successfully processed package "SCEP_Signatures" (package 
ID = LF1001F7).  In Progress     LF1001F7
        12/2/2014 6:48:00 AM    Distributing content    Distribution Manager 
instructed Package Transfer manager to send package "LF1002DB" to distribution 
point 
"["Display=\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=LF1"]\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\<file:///\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\>".
    In Progress     LF1002DB

I can confirm that LF10021B (29 GB in size by the way) is still getting sent to 
the DP. Per its SMSDPROV.log:

[C74][Wed 12/03/2014 08:26:57]:Content '9a596c68-ab09-4869-9c8c-1162d7211f2a'

for package 'LF10021B' has been added to content library successfully

ONLY LF10021B is being distributed… WTH?

Here is my settings in the primary site [Software Distribution Component 
Properties] window:

----Concurrent distribution settings---------------------

Maximum number of packages:     7
Maximum threads per package:    5

----Retry settings---------------

Number of retries:              100
Delay before retrying:          30

----Multicast retry settings-----------

Number of retries:              3
Delay before retrying:          1


Any ideas guys??? I can’t seem to find a good resource online for distribution 
that addresses multitasking extensively.

Thanks,
Nile
