Installing Applications using 2012 keeps failing

I setup system center 2012 this morning and it's mostly working, it looks like an excellent product!  I can deploy the client as well as endpoint protection.

Here is my problem.  I create a simple application to push out the Java MSI.  I then distribute the content to my distribution point and confirm it's done under the monitor page.  After that I'm deploying the application to an XP and 7 machine.  It shows up in the software center but the installs keep failing (i've tried different MSIs and rebuilt it a bunch of times).  Here is the error I'm seeing on the client:

"Unable to download the software

There was a problem downloading the software" - then a bit more encouraging me to call helpdesk.

Then in the more information box I'm getting:

"The software change returned error code 0x87D00607(-2016410105)."

Any suggestions on what could be causing this?

0x87D00607 = Content not found. Troubleshoot just like you would in previous versions.

1) Look in CAS.log to make sure it got the request and queried LocationServices

2) Check LocationServices.log - this should point you in the right direction to solve the problem

My guess based upon the limited information you provided is that you may not have a boundary defined and assigned to a boundary group thus the location reply is empty. Less likely but possible is that there is a version mismatch (i.e. policy says use version X but the DP has version X-Y)

I appreciate the answer Eric.  In the locationservices.log I found the error, you were right.  Under the distribution point I missed adding the boundary group to the boundary groups.  It works much better now.

Where are the log files? Client or server machine?

Thanks!

Those are client side logs. Please keep in mind that this forum is for ConfigMgr 2007 related questions only. ConfigMgr 2012 ones should be posted to http://innovation.connect.microsoft.com/discussions?ProjectName=configmgrbeta until the official Technet forums are available.

Hi Torsten, when I try to get to the beta forums I get access denied and am prompted to sign up.  I can't find anywhere to sign up and was not a beta tester... I did purchase the RTM of this product.  When is Microsoft planning to add the additional forum?

in my case it was because a dependency was not deployed to any distribution points

Thanks for the info, Side questiong, if 0x87D00607 = Content not found. why doesn't sccm just say that. why do I have to look on a forum for this info.
