Package Servers are not able to download Symantec Deployment Solution 7.1 packages

Issue

Package servers show a number of invalid packages when the packages are valid.

Cause

The manually defined Package Destination Location (\\%COMPUTERNAME%\Deployment\...), does not exist because the Task Server role has not been assigned to the Package Server.

NOTE: The manually defined Package Destination Location was set by Symantec.

Workarounds

• Assign the Task Server role to the Package Server. (Preferred)
• Remove the manually defined Package Destination Location. This may cause issues with Symantec Deployment Solution, but will allow the package to download to the Package Server.
• Create the share on the Package Server using a similar command line:
