Hi, I have an SMS site and a secondary that are working very well. We are wanting to deploy SMS secondary sites to 130 additional locations. However, I do not want to push all those large packages over the slow network.
I have looked at the Package loader from the sms toolkit. I copy the .pck file to the correct location and run the tool. It says that the path to the package has been added and the replication up the hierarchy has been done. Everything looks good. However, no uncompressed copy of the package ever appears in smspkge$. If I add the new distribution point to the package at the primary then it recopies the whole package and overwrites the one that was already there! (but at least I get an uncompressed copy too
How is this thing supposed to work? The documentation is very vague. Am I supposed to even add that distribution point? If not, is the tool supposed to initiate a despool of the files into the smspkge$ folder?
I'm really unimpressed Microsoft, not even a kb article on this utility, just one page in a help file.
Is there a better way to do this?
