Configuration Manager: The source directory for package does not exist

 

Error: The source directory \\networkshare\contents for the package "PS10001" does not exist.

Solution: make sure you have specified a valid package source directory on the Data Source tab in the package properties dialog box in the configuration manager console. If you specify a local path, it must be a local path on the site server. If you specify a path on a network drive, verify that the path exists and that the path is typed correctly.

I received this error, when I was creating a new network share for application package contents and distributed to DPs. In my case, I haven't given SYSTEM account NTFS security permissions.

There could be many other reasons why this error can be received when distributing contents to DPs. Below are some of the checklists, you can check to resolve this error.

1. Check if you have done any typo in the content location path.

2. Check if you have added SYSTEM account permissions to the sources share folder.

3. Check if you have added Site Server computer account permissions to the sources share folder.

4. In software updates case, check if the actual content are in place. The content might have deleted because of superseded/expired updates.

If you have faced this error in different scenario, please comment it - I will try to provide resolution for the same. Thank you

Solved: Configuration Manager Client Installation Fails with error 0x87d0027e

Error:

[CCMHTTP] ERROR: URL=http://configmgrmp01.pj360i.com/ccm_system/request, Port=80, Options=1248, Code=0, Text=CCM_E_BAD_HTTP_STATUS_CODE
Failed (0x87d0027e) to send location request to 'configmgrmp01.pj360i.com'. StatusCode 403, StatusText 'Forbidden'
GetDPLocations failed with error 0x87d0027e
Failed to get DP locations as the expected version from MP 'configmgrmp01.pj360i.com'. Error 0x87d0027e

This problem happens when Management Point is configured with HTTPS but the Configuration Manager client is installed using http installation properties. To resolve this, use https with a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) in the /mp switch. In my situation, the server FQDN is configmgrmp01.pj360i.com, hence my client installation command is as follows:

C:\Windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe SMSSITECODE=PS1 /mp:https://configmgrmp01.pj360i.com

Verify both ccmsetup.log and clientmsi.log present in "C:\Windows\ccmsetup\Logs"

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) | Operating System Deployment Task Sequence Variables

MDT Variables	Description
_SMSTSOrgName	Customizes the Task Sequencer engine's display banner.
ADDSLogPath	Fully qualified,   non-UNC directory on a hard disk on the local computer to host the AD DS   log files. If the directory exists it must be empty. If it does not exist, it   will be created.
ADDSPassword	Account credentials   that can be used when promoting the server to a domain controller.
ADDSUserDomain	This is the domain the   account specified by ADDSUserName should be taken from. If the operation is   to create a new forest or to become a member server from a backup domain   controller upgrade there is no default. If the operation is to create a new   tree, the default is the DNS name of the forest the computer is currently   joined to. If the operation is to create a new child domain or a replica then   the default is the DNS name of the domain the computer is joined to. If the   operation is to demote the computer and the computer is a domain controller   in a child domain, the default is the DNS name of the parent domains. If the   operation is to demote the computer, and the computer is a domain controller   of a tree root domain, the default is the DNS name of the forest.
ADDSUserName	Account credentials   that will be used when promoting the server to a domain controller.

BackupShare	The shared folder in   which backups of the target computer are stored.
BitsPerPel	A setting for   displaying colors on the target computer. The property can contain numeric   digits and corresponds to the color quality setting. In the example, 32   indicates 32 bits per pixel for color quality. This value is inserted into   the appropriate configuration settings in Unattend.xml.
CapableArchitecture	The processor   architecture of the processor supported by the target computer, not the   current processor architecture that is running. For example, when running a   32-bit-compatible operating system on a 64-bit processor, CapableArchitecture   will indicate that the processor architecture is 64 bit.

DeploymentType	The type of deployment   being performed based on the deployment scenario. For ZTI, this property is   set dynamically by MDT scripts and is not configured in CustomSettings.ini.   For LTI, you can bypass the page in the Deployment Wizard on which the   deployment type is selected. In addition, you can specify the deployment type   by passing one of the values listed below to the LiteTouch.wsf script as a   command-line option.
DeployRoot	Specifies the UNC or   local path to the folder that is the root of the folder structure that MDT   uses. This folder structure contains configuration files, scripts, and other   folders and files that MDT uses. The value of this property is set based on   the following MDT deployment technologies:

DNSServerOptionEnableSecureCache	Determines whether the   DNS server attempts to clean up responses to avoid cache pollution. This   setting is enabled by default. By default, DNS servers use a secure response   option that eliminates adding unrelated resource records that are included in   a referral answer to their cache. In most cases, any names that are added in   referral answers are typically cached, and they help expedite the resolution   of subsequent DNS queries.
