If you see the lineDPConnection::ConnectWMI() – Failed to connect toserver name this means that the SCCM server is unable to connect to the WMI namespace on the target machine which is why the installation of the distribution point is failing. You would also see an error that readsFailed to install DP files on the remote DP Error code=1722.

You need to look forsmsdpprov.mof file which is found in<fahren:>\Program Files\Microsoft\Configuration Manager\bin\X64 in your primary site server. Copy it to any drive or in a folder on the target DP server.
Run the command prompt (CMD) as administrator and execute the following command.
mofcomp.exe smsdpprov.mofThis will create the WMI namespace and after this step, you should be able to install the DP without any issues.
