Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You create a package on a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) site server.
-
You click to select the Enable binary differential replication check box on the Data Source tab of the Properties dialog box for the package.
-
Some files in the package are larger than 4 gigabytes (GB).
In this scenario, the delta file merge process fails for the larger files. Additionally, an error message that resembles the following is logged in the Distmgr.log file:
Sleep 3600 seconds... SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER
merging temp-delta-00000c48-00000001.rdc to file_name SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER

Cause
This problem occurs because the distribution manager does not handle the file pointer for the end of the file (EOF) correctly for files that are larger than 4 GB.
Resolution
To resolve this problem, install the following hotfix rollup package on the affected System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 primary site server, secondary site server, and remote provider roles. The installation wizard for the package creates another package for clients. To deploy the package to all clients after you run the package on the primary site server, you have to create an advertisement.
Note The following hotfix package can be installed on a System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 site server that is running an x86-based or x64-based version of an operating system:
SCCM2007-SP2-2641584-X86-ENU.msi
