Content Management

Managing content in Configuration Manager 2012 can be done on different levels and in different parts of the Configuration Manager 2012 console: 

Distribution Points/Distribution Point Groups Per distribution point or distribution point group you are able to see, redistribute, validate, or remove content easily. Content validation can be done automatically based on a schedule. When adding a new distribution point to a distribution point group, all the applications or packages assigned to a distribution point group will be automatically copied to the new distribution point.

Content-Related Objects Objects that have content have a Content Locations tab where you can manage the content and see on which distribution point the content is available. From the object you are also able to validate, redistribute, and remove the content from the distribution points. Objects that have content are applications, packages, boot images, driver packages, operating system images, operating system installers, and software update deployment packages.
Monitoring In the monitoring workspace of the Configuration Manager console you can monitor your applications and packages in the Content Status node. You can also monitor the distribution point group status and distribution point configuration status.
