After installing SCCM 2012 in my LAB, I am able to deploy
applications using normal deployment method. But when I choose Software center
to install application, the application stuck at ‘downloading information’
stage. I have waited few hours but no difference.
I have started looking into the logs and found an error msg
in DataTransferService.log and it shows
the following error.
Successfully sent location services HTTP failure message.
Successfully sent location services HTTP failure message.
Error sending DAV
request. HTTP code 500, status 'Internal Server Error'
GetDirectoryList_HTTP('http://WIN2008.SCCM2012.LAB:80/SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/LAB0000C')
failed with code 0x87d0027e. DataTransferService 7/8/2013 8:51:36 PM 3028 (0x0BD4)
Error retrieving
manifest (0x87d0027e). Will attempt
retry 1 in 30 seconds. DataTransferService
7/8/2013 8:51:36 PM 3028 (0x0BD4)
The error message ironically tells you there is a problem
with IIS and it also tells you that there is an error retrieving manifest in
other words content on the share.
So, I have opened up the advanced settings of SMS_DP_SMSPKG$
in IIS by going IIS -> Sites ->
Default web site -> SMS_DP_SMSPKG$ -> Manage Application -> Advanced
Settings
Once I opened the advanced settings, I have noticed that the
physical path for SCCMContentLib is wrong. I have changed the DP storage
location from one drive to other drive after the initial setup. Somehow SCCM
ContentLib path not updated in IIS,
So I have updated the correct path then restarted the IIS
manager then refreshed the software center on the client machine.
Instantly the status message changed from downloading
information to "downloading progress" then "Installing".
Thanks for this venu - Ive been chewing this over for weeks and you had the answer!

Thank you so much. I've been loosing my mind trying to solve this for weeks!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWe've got the same issue on our Windows Server 2012 R2 DP's. (Using SCCM 2012 SP1)
Adding the ASP.NET 4.5 Role (and proposed Features) under Roles and Features > "Web Server (IIS)" > "Web Server" > "Application Development" solved our issue.
For more details see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=216771.
Thank you so much. An excellent post
ReplyDeleteExcellent find, this saved me a bit of troubleshooting to figure out what was going on at one of my secondary sites.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thankyou for posting this, client downloads now working! Having now seen the incorrect setting, I realise that I'd changed the drive letter of the volume after installing the DP role. Note to self - set volume drive letters /before/ installing DP role!
