Copy Packages Wizard in SCCM 2007 console
If you need to distribute huge set of packages to DP2 that you know are already distributed to DP1 then there’s no need to browse through all packages and add new distribution point to each. Also there’s no need to go looking for scripts or tools to do this. Just open SCCM console…
Right-click on one of following possible nodes depending on package type you want to distribute:
- “Software Distribution” > “Packages”
- “Software Updates” > “Deployment Packages”
- “Operating System Deployment” > “Boot Images”
- “Operating System Deployment” > “Operating System Images”
- “Operating System Deployment” > “Operating System Install Packages”
- “Operating System Deployment” > “Driver Packages” Unfortunately the wizard uses filter, so each type of package must be handled separately. Anyway, in the right-click menu select “Copy Packages” option:
This will open “Copy Packages Wizard”:
When you click “Next” on Welcome screen you must first specify a destination distribution point:
Now on “Select Packages” page there is a nice interface to manage the distribution:
Notice that you need to have distribute rights on all the packages you select. You can either manually select each and every package you want to distribute to destination DP or you can click on “Source…” button in lower right and select the source distribution point(s). This will automatically select all packages that are currently distributed to source DPs. Of course the selection can be modified later by unchecking/checking the items.
Once the needed packages have been selected, click “Next” to review the details on “Summary” page. The progress will start after clicking “Next” on “Summary” page. The destination distribution point will be added to every selected package:
Once the progress is complete, you’re done. All selected packages will be pending distribution to destination DP.
