Secondary site clients waiting for content

I have secondary site clients (sccm 2007 r2) that are stuck "waiting for content" for hours now. The package i'm trying to deploy is only 100mb.

Now I have just recently setup secondary sites, so I'm sure there is something I'm missing.

  • I have verified that the package has successfully distributed to the secondary site DP.
  • I have checked a secondary site computer and in the cache folder the package folder is created, but no files are present, not even temp files.
  • The site status for all secondary sites are all listed as "Ok".
  • I have tried changing the webDav defaultapppool from "Integrated" to "Classic", waited awhile with no result.
  • The setup logs on the secondary site root system drive looks ok.
  • I don't see any errors in the distmgr.log.

What else could I check? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael
