How to Restore Packages on a Branch Distribution Point
To restore packages on a branch distribution point
If necessary, reinstall the Configuration Manager client and redeploy the branch distribution point. For information about how to do this, see How to Deploy a Branch Distribution Point.
If the share does not exist, create an SMSPKG<driveletter>$ directory on the branch distribution point, where <driveletter> is the relevant drive on the branch distribution point.
Restore the package directories and files from their backup location.
On the branch distribution point:
Double-click Configuration Manager in Control Panel.
On the Actions tab, select Branch Distribution Point Maintenance Task.
Click Initiate Action.
The Branch Distribution Point Maintenance Task will verify the prestaged packages and download any packages that do not exist on the branch distribution point. A success status message is sent to the management point, and the server’s records are then updated to reflect the availability of the packages.
