Use the Distribution Points page in the Configuration Manager 2007 Deploy Software Updates Wizard or Update List Wizard to select the distribution points that are used to host the software update files defined in the new deployment package. After a deployment package is created, distribution points are managed from the Distribution Points node under the associated package.

Important
When no distribution points are selected, the deployment is created and the software update file is downloaded to the source folder, but the update file will not be available to client computers until at least one distribution point is added to the package.

If all software updates in the deployment have previously been downloaded and copied to a package shared folder on the distribution point, the Distribution Points page of the wizard does not display. The deployment is automatically configured with the package used to download the update.

Note
The Distribution Points page only displays in the Update List Wizard if the Download the files associated with the selected software updates setting is enabled on the Update List page.

This page contains the elements as described in the following table.
