Uninstalling-Reinstalling Distribution point role

Question

Hello,

Any recommendations for uninstalling a distribution point role which is acting strange... packages are taking days to be distributed
Any recommendation to reinstall fresh as it is a new Distribution role.

I have checked already:

https://www.anoopcnair.com/remove-distribution-point-role-sccm-configmgr/
https://www.anoopcnair.com/sccm-install-new-distribution-point-role/

• Reinstall the Configuration Manager (SCCM) Distribution Point
• Install and configure distribution points in Configuration Manager – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/configmgr/core/servers/deploy/configure/install-and-configure-distribution-points
• Setting up HTTPS MP SUP SCCM Site Systems for Co-Management – https://www.anoopcnair.com/setting-up-https-mp-sup-sccm-site-systems/

What to delete, cleanup?

Thanks,
Dom

Answer 1

You have mentioned that it is taking days for the content to copy. If that is the case then it is is highly unlikely that a re-installation of the DP role will fix this. If the issue is slow copying then you need to address that.

Hi, @Dominique DUCHEMIN
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Looks like you have rebuild the DP role according to the response in this thread:
