DP installation server 2016 fails

Question
-
Hi all,
I have a primary server with server 2012 R2. SCCM version is 1610.
Now I want a secondary server with DP and MP roles. The O.S. of this server is 2016 datacenter,with full desktop.
The DP role fails to install.
The distmgr.log shows these errors
CWmi::Connect() failed to connect to \\server\root\CIMv2. Error = 0x800706BA
DPConnection::ConnectWMI() - Failed to connect to server
Failed to install DP files on the remote DP. Error code = 1722I installed .net 3.5 feature, but that did not solve the problem.
MP role did install correctly.
Can anybody help?

1722 is the RPC server is unavailable. Did you check for proper network access and through any firewalls that you might have?
Refer also to this for the exact requirements for both roles: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/plan-design/configs/site-and-site-system-prerequisites

Both servers are in the same vlan, inbound firewall rule allows for all traffic from the primary server.
.NET Framework 4.5.2 is required accoring to the website, but server 2016 comes with .NET Framework 4.6.x
Computer account of primary is member of local administrators groep of 2016 server

OK... I used my domain admin account. Apparently a computer account cannot be used on server 2016?
This always worked on 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 O.S.
The Dp looks now successfully installed

It is defiantly possible to use the computer account of the site server as the administrator account.
I recently documented this process in a blog post https://stingraysystems.wordpress.com/2017/01/17/commission-new-sccm-distribution-point-server/
