We have a pair of WIM images 2.5 and 3.4 GB in size. The images are at the initial revision 1, and the only DP selected is on a DP that is part of the central primary site. The DP on the central primary site server is not selected to deploy. The DP is on a remote WAN connection with very good connectivity. Putting the WIM package on one of the child primaries with DP servers works just fine. Other packages sent to the DP also work correctly. The only error we get is the one in the satus manager, and a very uninformative "Error occurred" log message in the DISTMGR. The section from the log is below. The WIM files are copied to the SMSPKGC$\PackageID locations by SCCM without any problem, but show up as failed. We've deleted and readded the package, rebooted the site and DP servers. Anyone have any ideas?

A few other minor pieces of info: Binary Differential Replication is disabled. Central Primary Site Server is WS2003 R2, DP is WS2008R2. Bob

disable any antivirus on the dp to see if that's a cause, how much free space is on that server ? My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

The SMSPKG$ directory is excluded already from SCCM, and other packages (soft dist) work just fine. Free space on the server > 90 GB, so it's not running out of space. The Primary has 40 GB free.Bob

But just to make sure I'm having the AV guys make sure it's excluded.Bob

Looks like it may be AV. They set the exclusion wrong, we are testing it now.Bob

Well, it's not AV, we turned it off and there isn't any change. Started digging through the event logs and ran accross the following event for WMI that happens very close to all the failure times. The description for Event ID 5605 from source Microsoft-Windows-WMI cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: root\MicrosoftIISv2 Did some looking and found this article, which seems related. I don't think running the script to lower the permissions as suggested is the solution. I also don't see what would have lowered the permissions levels. But this does make some sense since the file is copied, I'm wondering if the issue is with BITS. Not sure why that would be the case since other packages update just fine. I'll go dig through the IIS logs maybe I'll find something there. Event ID 5605 — WMI Client Connections Updated: December 6, 2007 Applies To: Windows Server 2008 A WMI client is any process that connects to the WMI service. Event Details Product: Windows Operating System ID: 5605 Source: Microsoft-Windows-WMI Version: 6.0 Symbolic Name: WBEM_MC_WBEM_REQUIRES_ENCRYPTION_DENIED Message: Access to the %1 namespace was denied because the namespace is marked with RequiresEncryption but the script or application attempted to connect to this namespace with an authentication level below Pkt_Privacy. Change the authentication level to Pkt_Privacy and run the script or application again. Bob

Looks like it may be a network problem. Arg, I hate troubleshooting those.Bob

did you iis logs reveal anything My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

Sorry for not responding, it was a network issue which we resolved. The NIC on the DP was failing intermittently. Bob
