    The Log will tell you which server and SQL instance is having problem. Make sure that the whole SQL instance is using the right collation.

    Hi, @Kaosins Demar

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    We have to verify that the collation settings for all databases in all instances of SQL Server used by your SCCM deployment are the same and meet the requirements for SCCM, the recommended collation setting is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.

    If the collation settings are correct, try restarting the SQL Server service and then run the prerequisite check again to see if it helps.

    Thanks for the answers, the error disappeared after re-run the prerequisite check.
