    Hi, @Loganathan R

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    First, we may check mpMSI.log for more details of MP installation.

    Then, ensure meet the prerequisites of management point installation:

    1. Windows Server roles and features
      BITS Server Extensions or Background Intelligent Transfer Services (BITS)
2. .NET Framework
     .NET Framework version 4.5 or later
     .NET Framework 4.8 (ConfigMgr 1906 or later)
3. IIS configuration
      Application Development:
         ISAPI Extensions
      Security:
         Windows Authentication
      IIS 6 Management Compatibility:
      IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility
      IIS 6 WMI Compatibility
4. SQL Server Native Client

    Search for value 2 in mpmsi log. It will give the reason for 1603 which is a fatal error.

    Hi, @Loganathan R

    Is the SCCM client agent installed on the remote MP server? If so, try to uninstall the agent using command ccmsetup.exe /uninstall. This uninstalled the client agent and deleted its related directories. Then perform a server reboot and retry the management point installation.

    Hi All,

    Thanks for all your inputs.

    After reinstalling the BITS we are able to fix the issue.
