Today one of mine colleagues from Helpdesk, asked me why one package hasn't been distributed correctly to some Distribution Points. The <strong>PkgXferMgr.log</strong> said to me that:
There is no existing connection, Win32 error = 67 SMS_PACKAGE_TRANSFER_MANAGER 2013-06-28 02:37:49 9192 (0x23E8)

I was astonished because I haven't changed anything, as I logged on DPJAS server it appared that one of my administrator colleague has moved the SMS_DP$ share. Not only moved but moved and forgot to share it again, so it wasn't visible on the network. I turned sharing again, gave proper permissions, and one more time looked in log after redistributing content.
The message I that have received was:
ExecStaticMethod failed (80041013) SMS_DistributionPoint, AddFile SMS_PACKAGE_TRANSFER_MANAGER 2013-07-01 12:19:13 11128 (0x2B78)

After about 30 minutes of trying that operation to run on other DPs, I moved that folder to D drive where it was - my colleague moved it to the F drive.
Another redistribution operation, and guess what :) I t was the drive fault! Still do not how could it be as long as the share was visible properly :/
