4.
Select the content and then, on the ribbon, click Distribute Content.
5.
In the Distribute Content Wizard, on the Review Selected Content page, verify that the
content that is listed is the content you want to distribute. If you are distributing an
application, you can select the Detect Associated Content Dependencies And Add
Them To This Distribution check box.
6.
On the Specify The Content Destination page, click Add. You can add a content des-
tination that is associated with collections, a distribution point, or a distribution point
group.
By default, Configuration Manager grants access to the package folder on a distribution
account to the Users And Administrators groups. If necessary, you can mediate access to the
package folder by configuring access for additional accounts and groups. You do not have
to configure the Network Access account as a Package Access account because the Users
group already has this account as a member. Mobile devices always access package content
anonymously. This means that you cannot use Package Access accounts to mediate access to
package content for mobile devices.
Updating content
When you change the source files for specific content, update the copy of the content on the
distribution points. When you update content on distribution points, Configuration Manager
increments the package version and updates only the files with changes.
To update content on distribution points, perform the following procedure:
1.
On the Configuration Manager console, click the Software Library workspace.
2.
Expand the appropriate folder: Application Management, Software Updates, or
Operating Systems.
3.
Access the node for the content you want to update.
4.
Select the content and then, on the ribbon, click Update Distribution Points.
5.
In the Configuration Manager message that asks whether you want to refresh the
content, click Yes.
Redistributing, validating, or removing content
Sometimes you might need to redistribute content to distribution points, such as when you
need to repair corrupted content files. You can use one of the following three methods to
perform content redistribution:
From the Software Library workspace, select the content and then open the Properties
dialog box. Click the Content Locations tab, select the distribution point or distribution
point group, and then click Redistribute.

From the Administration workspace, open the Distribution Points node. Right-click a
distribution point and then click Properties. On the Content tab, select the content and
then click Redistribute.
