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.
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
