When we add new Distributed Points to the existing SCCM infrastructure, we need to add all the existing application packages to the new DP.
The easiest way of adding all the packages to the new DP is
- Using the Copy Packages Wizard in Microsoft System Center Configuration
Manager 2007. The Copy Packages Wizard effectively create a copy of an existing
distribution point by allowing you to select all the packages on that
distribution point. Specifying a source distribution point is not required
because by default Configuration Manager 2007 displays all available packages.
Important this is, The Copy Packages Wizard filters the
source packages to copy based on the package type so that when this wizard is
run from the Software Distribution node, only software packages are displayed.
If you want to copy different package types to a new distribution point, run
this wizard from the appropriate package-type node, such as Software Updates or
Operating System Deployment.
