Package Source Files Cannot Be Updated While a Package Is Being Copied to a Distribution Point
Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 (SMS 2003)
Distribution Manager may distribute the original source directory files two
times if the package source directory is changed while the Distribution Manager
is updating the distribution point or points.
This behavior occurs because the Distribution Manager does
not permit any changes to the package while the package is being copied to the
distribution point.
For example, when you create a package and use
the C:\SourceA folder as the source files directory and you select a
distribution point, the SMS 2003 Distribution Manager copies the package files
from the C:\SourceA folder to the distribution point. While the SMS 2003
Distribution Manager copies the package to the distribution point, and you try
to change the source files location for the package from C:\SourceA to
C:\SourceB, the source files location will not be updated.
To work around this behavior, you can change the package
source files directory either before or after the SMS 2003 Distribution Manager
copies the packages but not during the package copy process.
This
behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
