SYMPTOMS
========

After you change the standard "Location of stored packages" property to a
specific drive letter, Systems Management Server (SMS) Distribution Manager does
not correctly discover the package size. The package size has a value of 1
kilobyte (KB).

Excerpt from Distmgr.log File
-----------------------------

Start adding package SR30002F...  
Package SR30002F uses the compressed copy of the source directory.  
Package SR30002F doesn't have a compressed copy of the source directory, starting the compression.  
The size of package SR30002F is 1 KBytes  
...
The compressed size of package SR30002F is 19821 KBytes  

Run the following query, and then check the SourceSize and SourceCompSize values
for the package:

  select PkgID, SourceSize, SourceCompSize from SMSPackages

PkgID    SourceSize  SourceCompSize 
-------- ----------- -------------- 
SR30002F 1           19821          

The same values appear in the package status node of the SMS Administrator
Console.

MORE INFORMATION
================
