AnswerITMU packages not visible after SCCM upgrade

    SMS 2003 with ITMU was upgraded to SCCM (without ITMU uninstallation) and packages used in ITMU are now not visible under "Deployment Packages" folder. I know they are still there because when I right click on folder "Deployment Packages" >>> "Copy packages" >>> select DP >>> Next, they  are in the list of packages I can copy to the distribution point. How can I remove these packages from all DP ? ITMU (and also the SCCM version) is now uninstalled.

    Awesome.   I figured it out after Torsten's input above.  In case someone else has the same issue here's how to fix:

    Go to Software Distribution / Packages and DELETE the empty folder containing your legacy ITMU package.  Have a look back in Deployment Packages and WOW - there they all are.

    Many thanks Torsten, for a push in the right direction!

    Hello Kent
    Thank you for the answer but this is not my problem. I want to remove packages from distribution points which are not visible under "Deployment packages", not to hide LEGACY updates. As I mentioned I know they are still there because when I right click on folder "Deployment Packages" >>> "Copy packages" >>> select DP >>> Next, they  are in the list of packages I can copy to the distribution points. That is the only place where I can see them. I can also see ITMU advertisement under "Deployment Management" >>> "SMS2003 Advertisements"  but it is not possible to delete it. I found information that this advert will disappear after I delete the package with the updates but the package is not visible so ... any idea how to get rid of that ? Thank you

    Was the original issue ever resolved?  Today we upgraded our top SMS 2003 site to SCCM and only a few of our ITMU packages are showing.  Like the above user, we can "see" them when we right click on the Deployment Packages folder.  Since we have 40+ ITMU packages, we are very anxious for them to reappear.  Our adverts are there.

    Any ideas / suggestions?  Below is our exact same issue.

    Any chance that those "hidden" ITMU updates were in subfolders before the site was upgraded?

    Yes they were!!!   The only ones showing were not in subfolders.  How do we get things back to normal?  Many Thanks!
