hey, I think I remember that I saw someone had posted a nice little extra app to manage distribution points. Something I can open up and say "add/remove these packages to these distribution points". I remember seeing it around here once before, but can't find it.

can anyone point it out to me? When I have a new server go into an office, it would be a lot easier than manually removing the DPs from every package, and then adding the new server.

Thanks all!

I use Roger Zander's CloneDP:

Roger has lots of other cool tools:

The one no SMS/ConfigMgr should be without is SMS Client Center. I use that one daily. I use CloneDP every time I have a lease return on a Secondary site Hardware.

Sherry,

Not sure if you remember but I sent you an email awhile ago asking about how I could get non networked PCs into SMS. Well it looks like this tool 'SMS 2003 Offline Hardware Inventory' from Rodger Zander may do the task I want.
