PCK files refer to the update package for storing system and application files which is why these files are needed to update client systems. The distribution of PCK files requires the SCCM software to build a compressed PCK file first together with the source files and after that, to send it to a Distribution Point (DP) computer. This distribution point is what allows available packages to be downloaded by registered client computers in order for the software to be updated.
