Hmmmm I seem to remember one time being told that if a DP (well this was in 
SCCM2007, so a secondary site) rate limit was not ever at 100% it would only do 
one package at the time ?

[cid:[email protected]]
So if I’m correct (huge chance I’m not) then from 7 am to 6pm it woudl only do 
one pacakge at the time...
And we had ours at max of 90% so we always only had one package being processed 
at a time..

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
    ReplicationPhase    REG_DWORD    0x0
    Estimated Number of Clients    REG_DWORD    0x0
    Server Platforms    REG_DWORD    0x20
    User    REG_SZ
    Organization    REG_SZ
    Type    REG_DWORD    0x1
    ReplicationMode    REG_DWORD    0x0
    Installation Directory    REG_SZ    e:\Program Files\Microsoft

    UI Installation Directory    REG_SZ    e:\Program Files\Microsoft

    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 
point 
"["Display=\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=LF1"]\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\<file:///\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\>".
    In Progress     LF1001E7
        12/2/2014 3:29:00 PM    Processing content on site server       
Distribution Manager successfully processed package "Workstations_PatchUp_2014" 
(package ID = LF1001FA).        In Progress     LF1001FA
        12/2/2014 8:05:00 AM    Distributing content    Distribution Manager 
instructed Package Transfer manager to send package "LF100167" to distribution 
point 
"["Display=\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=LF1"]\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\<file:///\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\>".
    In Progress     LF100167
        12/3/2014 9:17:00 AM    Content is being distributed to the 
distribution point  Package Transfer Manager is currently sending software 
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
[C74][Wed 12/03/2014 08:27:00]:Content '1fcd38d1-413f-4b4c-86e1-ecec08966734' 
for package 'LF10021B' has been added to content library successfully
[C74][Wed 12/03/2014 08:27:06]:Content '492b9f3f-e9e8-4a2f-94ec-eb905b7ad4a2' 
for package 'LF10021B' has been added to content library successfully
[DF0][Wed 12/03/2014 08:28:01]:Content 'b3c03b56-886c-46a3-8ea7-ba0a6c90e309' 
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
