Without the packages being staged on the distribution points, content deployment (packages, applications, operating systems, and software updates) in the environment cannot be completed. Providing insight into the process and health of the hierarchy distribution points, status messages and log files can be an administrator’s best friend.
The Monitoring node of the administrative console, shown in Figure , will give insight into the health of the distribution points.
There is a specific folder for the distribution points, called Distribution Status, that provides insight into the status of content, distribution groups, and distribution point configuration. There is also the Component Status folder, where you can review the health of SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER, the key component for deploying content to distribution points. In addition to status messages, distmgr.log provides insight into the distribution points for troubleshooting purposes. It tracks the different packages by package ID, size, and location where they are to be stored.
