1. The task sequence does not run on the protected branch distribution points in System Center Configuration Manager 2007
Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, you advertise a task sequence that includes an "install software" step to install two packages. The Make this package available on protected distribution points when requested by clients inside the protected boundaries option is enabled on the packages. Additionally, the Download content locally when needed by running task sequence option is enabled in the advertisement.

SYMPTOMS
When you install a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 site server before December 1, 2007, the SCCM site server does not process advertisement status summary data. This data is also known as offer status summary data. In this case, status files (.svf) accumulate in the offersum.box folder that is located in the \Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes folder on the SCCM site server.
Note If you upgrade from Microsoft System Management Server (SMS) 2003 to SCCM 2007, the offersum.box folder is located in the \SMS\Inboxes folder.
Additionally, the Offersum.log file contains errors that resemble the following:
Tally 00011280001F2000. New Start Time: 12/01/2007 00:00:00, New Expire Time: 12/08/2007 00:00:00 ---->: An exception was raised: Unspecified error Warn>: Could not initialize the summarizers properties.
These error messages occur every minute in the Offersum.log file.
When you install an SCCM site server after December 1, 2007, the SCCM site server cannot process any status messages. This behavior occurs because the offersum.box folder is not created successfully. This blocks the status message system. Additionally, the Statmgr.log file contains entries that resemble the following:
Waiting for SMS_INBOX_MANAGER to create the "Offer Status Summarizer" inbox for summarizer SMS_OFFER_STATUS_SUMMARIZER.
Note No other site system functions are affected by this problem. Only the offer status summarization component is affected by this problem.
