Hi SysAdmins
I just thought to share with you something I recently was troubleshooting.
Maybe you met this as well,
This occurred in SCCM 2012 sp1 CU1.
The problem:
You are trying to install a new DP, and the installation fails.
Also, the Distribution point configuration status under Monitoring shows red X with an error saying …cannot connect to remote DP.
When you check Distmgr.log you see the following lines:
Error:
CWmi::Connect() failed to connect to \\<<DPNAME>>\root\SCCMDP. Error = 0x800706BA
distmgr.log
Wmi::Connect() failed to connect to \\orch1.contoso.com\root\default. Error = 0x800706BA SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER 9/23/2013 3:02:46 AM 3540 (0x0DD4)

The Cause:
The WMI Name space \root\SCCMDP does not exist on the remote DP.
The Remedy:
Run the following command on the remote DP:
You saved the day for me!
thanks for the post
i want ask question how i can avoid this issue in the feature and what’s the cause root i receiving this error for each new DP so how i can stop that to be happened.
Thanks, real life saver!
At my remote DP, root\sccmdp was missing most classes after 2012 R2 upgrade. Reinstalled the DP role didn’t help. I removed root\sccmdp with this query:
Invoke-Command {gwmi -query “SELECT * FROM __Namespace WHERE Name=’SCCMDP'” -Namespace “root” | Remove-WmiObject}
But it wasn’t recreated at reinstallation.
mofcomp.exe smsdpprov.mof did the trick!
Hi Nevil
Please verify that the MP computer account is a local admin on the remote DP.
Thank you!!! Saved my butt.
