WMI versus Content Library

Question

Hello,

I ran a script and its results are:
Items in WMI but not the Content Library

========================================

UCP00128.3e4a13ad
UCP00128.3e4a61cd

The package UCP00128 does not exist anywhere in the Console ... what should I do to clear this discrepancy between WMI and Content Libray?

I compare

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-ChildItem F:\SCCMContentLib\PkgLib*.ini | out-file dir.txt

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-WmiObject -namespace root\sccmdp -class SMS_PackagesInContLib | format-list -Property PackageID | out-file wmi.txt

the two files have the same packages...

Thanks,
Dom

Hi @Dominique DUCHEMIN ,

Could we know which sccm version is used? 2012 or other? If it is 2012, there is a status message in the Details tab in the Details pane that shows there was a failure to retrieve the package list, we could try to check smsdpmon.log file on the distribution point to see if there is any error in it, and do these operation to try to solve it.

If the package is not on the site, we must remove the package from WMI on the distribution point. The namespace to connect to is rootsccmdp. The class that contains the list of packages expected is SMS_PackagesInContLib. The simplest way to find the package and remove it from WMI is to run a query on the distribution point such as the following, and then delete the object that is returned, update the content on the distribution point for package.

If the version is not 2012, we could use the above method to solve the problem.

Hi,

gwmi -Namespace root\sccmdp -Query "select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib where PackageID = 'UCP00128.3e4a13ad'" | Remove-WmiObject

The PackageID = 'UCP00128.3e4a13ad' seems to be wrong.

We could run the following powershell to check how many package there are.
gwmi -Namespace root\sccmdp -Query "select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib"

And then run the following command:
gwmi -Namespace root\sccmdp -Query "select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib where PackageID ='PRI0002c'"| Remove-WmiObject
Note: please input your PackageID

Finally, we check if the Package is deleted by running the following powershell:
gwmi -Namespace root\sccmdp -Query "select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib"

Besides, we could check the packageID on the side of sccm console:

The two scripts do not detect the same packages ...

How to delete the packages from the WMI?
I tried:
gwmi -Namespace root\sccmdp -Query "select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib where PackageID = 'UCP00128.3e4a13ad'" | Remove-WmiObject

And then run the first script but the two packages still appears as to be removed...

Thanks,
Dom

Hello,

I ran:
gwmi -Namespace root\sccmdp -Query "select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib"

there are 516 packages listed

But there is no package with a name where we have "UCP00128" so I could not run this command !!!
gwmi -Namespace root\sccmdp -Query "select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib where PackageID ='UCP00128.3e4a13ad'"| Remove-WmiObject

I tried also ='UCP00128' but there is nothing with this name in the list...
It seems the two names in the WMI are names used during the build of the package and not the final names... as they have the same root UCP00128 but different extensions...

Also there is no package with this name in the console:

1) Get-ChildItem F:\SCCMContentLib\PkgLib*.ini | out-file dir.txt

2) Get-WmiObject -namespace root\sccmdp -class SMS_PackagesInContLib | format-list -Property PackageID | out-file wmi.txt

Nothing with the name UCP00128 ???
but still having all these errors on the distribution points ...
"Failed to retrieve the package list on the distribution point. Or the package list in content library doesn't match the one in WMI."

Thanks,
Dom

Hello,

The package UCP00128 should not be there anymore, what should be done to clear the SMS_PackagesInContLib?
But don't forget the items shown in difference does not reflect the package itself but most likely temporary files with extensions..,
UCP00128.3e4a13ad
UCP00128.3e4a61cd

I checked Administration\Overview\Distribution Points. Right-click the distribution point server and select Properties. Go to Content tab, the package UCP00128 does not exist on any Distribution Points.

Thanks,
Dom
