actually everything is now working! your guides worked perfectly, i just needed to back and understand and re-read the scripts! I am new to SQL so my understanding of media, service accounts etc was very very small. After using updated ssm18, new CU22 update, and making sure i am using the domain specified account mentioned my script.....Config Mgr passed with NO errors.
Genuinely appreciate the time you dedicated into your guides, respect.
