Manager logs:

SMSProv.log Troubleshoot actions started from the user interface (UI) or the soft-
ware development kit (SDK).

■

DistMgr.log Troubleshoot content creation, update, deletion, and start of distribu-
tion. You can use this log on the site server from the source site to verify that
Distribution Manager processes the content.

■

Scheduler.log View the current status of the sender job. You can use this log on the
site server from the source site to verify that the content was queued for the sender.

■

Sender.log Troubleshoot the copy of the compressed content to the destination site.
You can use this log on the site server from the source site to determine whether the
sender has transferred the content to a different site.

■

Despooler.log Troubleshoot the extraction of the compressed copy to the content
library on the destination site. You can use this log file on the site server from the des-
tination site to verify that the despooler received and processed the content.

■

PkgXferMgr.log Troubleshoot the distribution of content from the site server to the
distribution point. You can use this log on the site server to determine whether the
Package Transfer Manager processed the content and transferred it to a distribution
point located in the same site as the site server.

■

SMSDPProv.log Troubleshoot the addition of content to the content library on the
distribution point. You can use this log on a distribution point to verify that content
was added to the content library.

■

SMSPXE.log Troubleshoot the PXE provider. You can find this log on a distribution
point that is configured to use PXE.

Content distribution
Client computers can access only content that has been distributed to distribution points.
Configuration Manager places content files in containers called packages. The distribution
process copies these packages to distribution points from the source files in the source path.
Packages can host application deployment types, packages, deployment packages, operating
system images, driver packages, boot images, and task sequences.
To distribute content to distribution points, perform the following procedure:
1. In the Configuration Manager console, click the Software Library workspace.
2. Expand the appropriate folder (Application Management, Software Updates, or

Operating Systems).

Access the node for the content that you need to distribute. 3.
