SCCM Distribution point error

Was receiving error in distmgr.log when trying to bring up a new Windows 2008 distribution point:

CWmi::Connect(): ConnectServer(Namespace) failed. - 0x8004100e



What I learned is that this apparently occurs when you havent't installed the IIS 6 Metabase compatibility feature and more importantly IIS 6 WMI compatiblity feature along with IIS. I had not done this.

Run server manager and as part of IIS feature list select the above two features and install it.

If you did not install these features, make sure you stop IIS Admin service first, or you will have errors.

Now the DP is running like is should!!!!
