The Add-CMDistributionPoint cmdlet in Configuration Manager sets an incorrect ServerRemoteName value

Symptoms:
Consider the following scenario:

  • You use the Add-CMDistributionPoint PowerShell cmdlet that was introduced in Cumulative Update 1 for Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1 (SP1) to create a new remote distribution point (DP).
  • You deploy content to the new DP and then create a deployment that requires that content for a client in the same remote location as the new DP.

In this scenario, you find that the client tries to download the content from the first server that is installed in the hierarchy (the CAS or stand-alone Primary). If the first server in the hierarchy is a stand-alone Primary that is a DP that is hosting the content, the client successfully downloads the content. This is shown by the DataTransferService.log entries on the client.
