xc3ss1v3 Posted May 2, 2014 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I've had a test distribution point set up and working for some time now. However, as with everyone else, I've gotten pulled off on some other projects and had to stop working with the test DP. Unfortunately, at some point during that time away, my DP seems to have stop functioning as it should. When I returned back to it, I noticed that packages, images, applications, etc... were now failing when trying to distribute to the test DP. The errors I was receiving were of the generic sort, "cannot communicate with the remote distribution point... check network and firewall settings." Nothing had changed network wise and just to be sure, I completely disabled the local firewall. Still nothing. Next, I tried removing the DP role and re-adding it. It fails despite all my attempts to resolve. In distrmgr.log the most telling (and seemingly common) error is CWmi::Connect() failed to connect to \\xxxx.xxxxxx.com\root\CIMv2. Error = 0x800706BA The most common answer I've found to this problem is copying smsdpprov.mof to the remote DP and running mofcomp.exe smsdpprov.mof. While it completes with success, it doesn't seem to do a thing whatsoever. Has anyone successfully resolved this issue with another process?

Peter van der Woude Posted May 3, 2014 Report post Posted May 3, 2014 That error is usually somewhere in the local firewall (WMI), the network (or VLAN) between the servers (WMI) or admin rights of the site server on the DP.
