Setting Distribution Points Options

AdminStudio Enterprise Server 11.5 | Configuration Manager Web Console

On the Distribution Points View, specify which servers may act as distribution points for this particular package. A Distribution Point is a site system role that stores software package files so clients can access them during the software distribution process. See Distributing Software Through Configuration Manager Server for more information.

To set Distribution Points options:

1. Perform the steps described in Selecting a Package for Distribution.
2. On the Configuration Manager Package Configuration Page, select Distribution Points in the tree. The Distribution Points View opens, listing targeted distribution points and displaying the following information:
• Name—The name of the distribution point.
• Site—The name of the site where the distribution point is located (for example, NYC - New York City).
• Type—The type of distribution point (for example, Windows NT Server or NetWare Bindery).
3. To target a new distribution point(s), select a distribution point(s) from the Select New Distribution Point list and click OK. The new distribution point will now be listed under Distribution Points in the tree.
4. When you have finished entering the Distribution Points options, proceed with entering the rest of the Package Configuration options:
• Setting Package Settings Options
• Setting Access Accounts Options
• Setting Programs Options
• Setting Advertisements Options
5. If you are finished entering Configuration Manager Package Configuration options, click Next to proceed to the Package Summary page and perform the steps listed in Saving the Package on the Configuration Manager Server.
