I wish universe pays you for your good deeds. Just a humble request if possible, please try to make some videos on Task Sequences customization based on real enterprise scenarios such as customizing unattended.xml, custom.ini and using different variables appropriately and their relationships in TS.

It's on the list of things :)

@@PatchMyPC this video would of helped us two weeks ago. We were trying to deploy applications to a new site, and the clients were getting the exact error in the video. Come to find out our Network team was not adding new subnets to the AD sites and services, and we are only using AD to discover new subnets. 200 subnets later everything is happy now...

[@juanrebella2589]

Thanks man, appreciated!!

[@PatchMyPC]

[@gabrielalicea4803]

Fantastic stuff. I love the deep dives. Keep them coming. There is a ton in ConfigMgr to uncover.

[@PatchMyPC]

Your welcome!

[@kshitijjgulati]

Hey Justin, I have been following you from quite some time now. Thank you for all these videos. Your presence online was one of the major reason that led me to recommend PatchMyPC in our enterprise environment. I will be setting it up today. I am excited!!!
You mentioned that any content that gets distributed is placed in SCCMContentLib$ on the Site Server even if it does not hold DP role. I find it logically contradicting to the recent High Availability feature that requires one to remove the DP role on the Site Server just to ensure that the SCCMContentLib$ is no more present on the Site Server. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!

[@PatchMyPC]

Good point, you certainly can move the Content Library off of the local site server now to a remote path if needed

[@Israel_IT]

thank you very much!!!

Hi Justin, on one of our DP virtual directory has gone missing, can we manually create them. i can see the content library folders on DP.

[@PatchMyPC]

It may be safer to just reinstall the DP.

[@eswarbheemi6735]

Very good session
I have a query..could you please let me know if it's possible or not.
If data and logs were removed from smsmdp ,smspckg folder.. is there any way to retrieve the same data and logs over the DP ??

[@PatchMyPC]

You shouldn't delete any files from these folders. I'm sure it could be if you have a backup.

[@priyamanoharan6900]

Hi..i have configured one DP on primary site post content replication added into boundary group and moved secondary site after new package are getting failed on secondary site for remote DP..any solution

[@PatchMyPC]

Check distmgr.log

[@sachinstar_canada]

Is there any way to delete the content manually from sccm content library. Why I am asking because we are unable to delete the content from sccm dp. Strange thing is distmgr logs are showing that content successfully removed, but space is not reduced on the content drive and package was there in pkg library. Kindly advise. Our dp is running out of disk space due to this issue. I also used content library cleanup tool but that also could not create more space. Now, only option is to remove the content from sccm console, but that is not working, however as lee logs, content successfully removed

[@PatchMyPC]

It's not supported to manually delete it. Maybe you could use the content cleanup tool learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/hierarchy/content-library-cleanup-tool
