content validation

I have CV set to run once a week, recently it found a package that need to be redistributed. After successfully redistributing the package the red error under monitoring went away but the yellow warning still exists.

I've done several successful validations since then but the yellow warning still appears which doesn't really contain any information and the smsdpmon log for that date is long gone.

Any idea how to clear that?

Hi,

If that is related to Component Status, just right click->"Reset Counts".

I do that regularly, all my status are green.  Besides its 2 months old.

As I said, the problem was fixed but this remains.

We have this issue too, seems like it should scrub out eventually.  I'm sure there's a more manual way to do it in the DB or maybe the site server's WMI but I would not recommend that at all.  So for now we seem to be in the same boat...

Hi,

It seems that the message only can be removed from database. But editing database directly is not supported by microsoft.

Then this is technically a bug since the supported method is built-in content validation, I mean what are we to do when a problem is found...Hoping MS will actually "better undertstand customer views..."

if you are lucky it will indicate which package it could not validate, then you can clear the message.

if not, try going through this excellent blog: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2012/05/07/troubleshooting-content-mismatch-warnings-on-a-distribution-point-in-system-center-2012-configuration-manager.aspx

ok, so that was really kewl, it pulled out the package that is missing, I reran it and the second time it came back as all valid all sites. So when does the yellow warning disappear???

Do you still have this error? The yellow warning messaged should have disappeared after content validation ran on the DP.

they never left, I had to remove them via studio manager on the database.

Interesting fix. I removed the left over packages in WMI that were not in the content library, and that cleared the warning on 3/4 of my DP's so far. -Tony
