Distribution Point Installation failed to install Error 0x800706BA

When you install SCCM distribution point you may get this error on distmgr.log DPConnection::ConnectWMI() – Failed to connect to servernameError 0x800706BA

This means that SCCM server is unable to connect to the WMI namespace on the target machine which is why the installation of distribution point is failing. You would also see an error which reads Failed to install DP files on the remote DP Error code=1722

Fix

Copy the smsdpprov.mof file into Distribution Point installation drive, you can find the smsdpprov.mof file under <drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\X64 in your primary site server

Run the command prompt as administrator and execute the following command
mofcomp.exe smsdpprov.mof














If you still getting the same error run the below command,

netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable

This command will allow remote user to execute / allow access the local firewall policy
