johan arwidmark of deployvista.com fame posted an article regarding the availability of trace64.exe in a very obscure download. it’s inside of the mdt 2010 healthcare download. finally, a 64-bit version of trace32! anyway, if you don’t want to download the entire thing and extract ~130 files just to get it, you can pull it from my skydrive location.
UPDATE: john marcum sent me a kind email to let me know about a problem he ran into with preloadpkgonsite.exe in the new SCCM Toolkit V2 where under certain conditions, packages will not uncompress. if you are using the v2 toolkit, PLEASE read this blog post before proceeding. here’s a scenario that came up on the mssms@lists.myitforum.com mailing list. when confronted with a situation of large packages and wan links, it’s generally best to get the data to the other location without going over the wire. in this case, 75gb. :/ the “how” you get the files there is really not the most important thing to worry about. once they’re there and moved to the appropriate location, preloadpkgonsite.exe is required to install the compressed source files. once done, a status message goes back to the parent server which should stop the upstream server from copying the package source files over the wan to the child site. anyway, if it’s a relatively small amount of packages, you can
Ah, another one found it :) It's a bit sad to see such information appear only via blogs and forums... Microsoft has a lot to learn about announcing such stuff on the technet forums for example.
