Recently I updated our production SCCM 2012 to SP1. The install seemed to go fine and a few tests passed when I was on the primary server. I tried to open the Admin Console installed found it wouldn't connect to the site. After running the console installation again, it worked. Just deploy the console to a collection to all who have it installed? I tried to do so, but it never deployed.
Here's why - My primary DP (only local one) isn't updating content. My other 3 remote ones are. I checked the logs and here's what I found
Console / Monitoring Console / Monitoring
Distribution Manager failed to find or create the defined share or volume on distribution
Distribution Manager failed to process package SCCM Console SP1
I checked my distmgr.log file and that is showing like that,
distmgr.log
Failed to set share security on share \\XYZ2.domain.com\SMSSIG$. Error = 5
Failed to set access security on share SMSSIG$ on server XYZ2.domain.com
DPConnection::Disconnect: Revert to self
Cannot find or create the signature share.

Error occurred. Performing error cleanup prior to returning.
So far, I opened the SMSSIG$ & SMSPKGE$ shares on the server and compared NTFS & Share permissions to other DPs which looked good. I also added the host mane of the primary site server as well as the sccm service account with full rights to them, but it didn't help any.
Solution:
I had my Site System Installation Account set to my service account which I use for most everything.
We changed that back to "Use the site server's computer account to install the site system."
After doing that, I restarted the SMS_Executive services updated my packages, and they worked!
