CWmi::Connect() failed to connect to \\server.domain.com\root\CIMv2. Error = 0x800706BA
DPConnection::ConnectWMI() - Failed to connect to server.domain.com.
Failed to install DP files on the remote DP. Error code = 1722
Lots of Googling suggested the following suggestions:
- Verify prerequisites installed (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/plan-design/configs/site-and-site-system-prerequisites).
- Verify site server in administrators group.
- Copy smsdpprov.mof to DP & run mofcomp.exe smsdpprov.mof on DP.
- Disable firewall.
I had done all this. Still seeing the same error. Then we checked NSLOOKUP. There was no record in DNS for our server name.
As it turns out, the IP address for our server was previously assigned to another server in DNS. Our network department swapped it to our new server, and I was able to install the DP role.
I hope this helps someone, as I could not find this info anywhere!
