Troubleshooting Software Distribution
Server Side
Once you create a package then you need to check the status messages to see if the package has been created you will have the following entries
Status ID : 30000 => User "Domain\User" created a package named " Test Package " (LAB00003).
Status ID : 2301 => SMS Distribution Manager successfully processed package "Test Package" (package ID = LAB00003).
Also you will have 2300 and 2311 for starting and creation of the packages Once you add the distribution point you then have to see if the following status messages are displayed.
Status ID : 30125 User "Domain\User" added new distribution points to a package named " Test Package " (LAB00003).
Severity Type Site code Date / Time System Component Message ID Description Thread ID Process ID

If you see the errors you can check the distmgr.log for the same. The distmgr.log will have the following entries

In case you see errors please make sure that the following
· There is no network issue between the server and the and the DP server
· Make sure that the SMSPKG<DriveLettre>$ share has been created and that has the folder with the package ID
· There is no DNS resolution issue.
· Make sure that the share has the require permission to write the data.
Once this is verified the next step is to check if the advertisement is created .These are the following status which will give you an idea on the creation
Information Milestone LAB 4/26/2010 10:44:36 PM SCCM SMS_OFFER_MANAGER 3900 SMS Offer Manager successfully processed new advertisement Test Advr.
Information Audit LAB 4/26/2010 10:44:24 PM SCCM Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.dll 30006 User "MYLAB\Administrator" created an advertisement named "Test Advr" (LAB20000) advertising program "Test Program".
Once the advertisement is received by the client you will have the following status messages
Severity Type Site code Date / Time System Component Message ID Description

Now on you need to check the client logs.
Client Side
Once the agent refreshes the policy according the policy refresh interval you will have the policy downloaded and evaluated.

If there are errors here you need to check the program command line and check if you can execute this command manually in your system. Please note that in SCCM software distribution is a just a command carrier and it will carry the command which you have requested with the set of files required so if there is any execution error you need to troubleshoot the same differently.
