As documented in Knowledge Base Article 322507 "You receive an "Invalid Package Definition File" error message when you try to import a .pdf file in Systems Management Server 2003", there are several reasons why you'll see this error when trying to import a Package Definition File (.pdf), using the "Create Package from Definition Wizard" such as:

  • The .pdf file contains more than one setup section. Examples of setup sections include the following sections:
    • Typical Setup
    • Complete Setup
    • Laptop Setup
    • Automated Setup
       
  • The same CommandName entry appears in more than one setup section.

However, you'll also see this error if the filename contains any special characters such as the "&" sign.
