SMSv4_Consolidated_Status__Distribution_Manager_failed_to_find_or_create_the_defined_share_or_volume_on_a_Distribution_Point_1_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The Distribution Manager failed to find or create the defined share or volume on the distribution point for distributing the package.

Causes

This condition could occur because Windows NT distribution points might not have at least one available NTFS drive.

Resolutions

Verify that there is at least one NTFS drive with enough free disk space to store the package. Then, verify that the distribution point directory exists, has the proper permissions, and is accessible.
