SYMPTOMS
You create a new package on a Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 central site, and the new package appears on the child site. However, when you add one of the child site's distribution points to the package properties on the central site, the package source files are not copied to the child site's distribution point. Additionally, the package properties on the child site do not include the distribution point. When this problem occurs, the Distmgr.log file on the central site may contain entries that are similar to the following.

Note In this example entry,  is the central site code and   is the child site code. ~Needs to send the compressed package for package xxx000D2 to site yyy ~There isn't a copy of compressed copy for package xxx000D2, create it. ~Use drive D for storing the compressed package. ~The size of package xxx000D2 is 7734 KBytes ~Starting to compress \\smsb44dfp\SMSClient\i386 to D:\_S M05kw.TMP for package xxx000D ~Used 1 out of 7 allowed processing threads. ~Sleep 3600 seconds... ~Used 1 out of 7 allowed processing threads. ~Sleep 3600 seconds... ~Used 1 out of 7 allowed processing threads. ~Sleep 3600 seconds... ~Cannot open source file \\smsb44dfp\SMSClient\i386\capinst.exe, Win32 Error = 32 CTool::CompressAndAppendFile failed, error = 3, win32 = 32, filename = (null) ~Cannot compress \\smsb44dfp\SMSClient\i386 to D:\_S M05kw.TMP, last failed file is, Win32 error = 32 STATMSG: ID=2309 SEV=E LEV=M SOURCE=&quot;SMS Server&quot; COMP=&quot;SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER&quot; SYS=SMSxxxC SITE=xxx PID=3988 TID=1636 GMTDATE=Thu Jul 01 18:55:15.171 2004 ISTR0=&quot;xxx000D2&quot; ISTR1=&quot;\\smsb44dfp\SMSClient\i386&quot; ISTR2=&quot;&quot; ISTR3=&quot;D:\_S M05kw.TMP&quot; ISTR4=&quot;&quot; ISTR5=&quot;&quot; ISTR6=&quot;&quot; ISTR7=&quot;&quot; ISTR8=&quot;&quot; ISTR9=&quot;&quot; NUMATTRS=1 AID0=400 AVAL0=&quot;xxx000D2&quot; ~Cannot create the compressed copy for package xxx000D2. Note Error 32 indicates that a process cannot access a file because the file is being used by another process.
