Sync distribution points?

Question

Wednesday, April 30, 2014 11:59 AM

Hi,

Is there an easy way to sync distribution points?
Now we have some packages which were only distributed to DP1, we'd need to select those and distribute it to DP2. I can select them in content status but not select them to distribute to other DP.

Why not use Distribution Point groups to accomplish this?

I just did that but targeted in monitoring isn't showing 2 (still 1).
I wanted to force the packages not on DP2 to sync to DP2.

Note: never used it before (DG), I have a DG, member count 2, site system count 2 but in monitoring the DG status is unknown ....

Probably I need to deploy all software to the distribution point group instead of distribution point?

Yes, that's how you use distribution point groups.

You'll need to create a new distribution point group and add your DP's as members (you can do that at creation time of the group or later on once you have distributed the content to the group).

Afterwards in the distribute content wizard click the Add button and select distribution point group (instead of distribution point). A list with all DP groups will be displayed, just pick the one that contains the DP's to which you want the content to be distributed.

Thanks. All content is on both DP's now.
I still need to distribute all packages/OS etc to distribution point group again?

Is there an easy way to do this in 1 go?

Jan,

Take a look at the following PowerShell script

Amend accordingly for the content you need to distribute.
