Updates were made to the following sections:

Determining the Distributor’s Refresh Schedule

Updated this section to clarify use of the Refresh schedule. For example, the default of Never is recommended because an infinite loop situation could be caused by a Refresh schedule that occurs more frequently than the time it takes to build or send a Distribution.

Also updated the following sections with information related to this change:

File

Added the following paragraph to the IMPORTANT note in the section:

Also, if a NetWare server is the target for a File Distribution, you might encounter an error due to code page differences where extended characters are used (such as ê, ë, ì, or í). The information in Extended Characters in Directory Paths in the Desktop Application Distribution section is also applicable to File Distributions.

MSI

Added the following note to the section:

IMPORTANT:Because an MSI Distribution recursively gathers all of the files from the MSI file’s location, if you have multiple .msi files in a given location, all other files and subdirectories contained therein are gathered once for each .msi file. The distribution gathering process cannot determine which other files or subdirectories belong to each .msi file, so you can end up with a much larger MSI Distribution file than is necessary. Therefore, instead of storing your .msi files in one directory, place each into its own subdirectory with its own supporting files and subdirectories.

Section 3.10.5, Sending Distributions: Firewall and Cluster Issues

Added this section concerning distribution issues for firewalls and clusters.
