Error “The WebDAV server extension is either not installed or not configured properly” in Configuration Manager 2007 on Windows Server 2008 R2

Issue:
SMS Site Component Manager failed to install component SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER on server SMS01.
If  I check the SCCM status (Go to System Status in the left pane, expand it, and choose Site Status, then your SCCM site code, then Component Status), it shows me that there were problems with my Management Point which were preventing it from starting.
If I right-click on the Critical error, and choose Show Messages, All. It shows me following error
The WebDAV server extension is either not installed or not configured properly.
Solution: Make sure WebDAV is installed and enabled. Make sure there is an authoring rule that allow "All users" read access to "All content". Make sure the WebDAV settings "Allow anonymous property queries" and "Allow property queries with infinite depth" are set to "true" and "Allow Custom Properties" is set to false.If I checked in SCCM status (click System Status in the left pane, expand it, and choose Site Status, then your SCCM site code, then Component Status), this revealed there were problems with my Management Point which were preventing it from starting.


So as per the error message above we need to verify the following:-

1) Make sure WebDAV is installed and enabled.

2) Make sure there is an authoring rule that allow "All users" read access to "All  content".

3)Make sure the WebDAV settings "Allow anonymous property queries" and "Allow property queries    with infinite depth" are set to "true" and "Allow Custom Properties" is set to false.[it's set to true]
WebDAV was installed, but rather a slight configuration change was needed, so we will let’s start up Server Manager and click on roles, then select Web Server IIS and then Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, then select your website listed under Sites (probably called Default Web Site unless you changed it).
Let’s start with adding a new authoring rule.


Double click on WebDav authoring rules .Next click on Add authoring rule under actions and make the changes as per below screenshot, click ok when done and you'll see your new authoring rule listed in Webdav.





Click on WebDav Settings now

make the changes above ("Allow anonymous property queries" and "Allow property queries with infinite depth" are set to "true", and "Allow Custom Properties" is set to false.)

Click Apply in the actions pane.



Lastly you should change the WebDav Behaviour for Allow hidden files to be listed from False to True if this is going to be a Distribution Point using BITS.
Go again to SCCM Configuration Manager console, under site status, right click on your SITE and choose Reset Counts,  All. & refresh the system status.
Now we can see in System Status for our Management Point, that it has installed and started properly.

Hardware Inventory Action missing

Other than the obvious, if on your site server or client the Hardware Inventory action is missing, most of the time the issue is may be a misconfigured hardware inventory MOF file, configuration.mof, on your primary site. In this case, the Hardware Inventory Action was missing on some of the Primary site Server as shown in the following figure. Also looked in %systemroot%\system32\wbem\logs --> mofcomp.log file, it was showing  following error Error Number: 0x80041026, Facility: WMI In this case the MOF file it was compiling was correct, but somehow from the log file it was showing that there is some issue with WMI. As per the above error, while compiling the mof file, the a ttempt was made to delete or modify a class that has instances in WMI . But anyway it was not happening. Further we compared the sms_def.mof file objects with the WMI & found that one additional customized entry in WMI. On further investigation we found that earlier, some day’s back one

Description = "User \"Domain\\SCCMAdmin2\" does not have permissions to grant rights on this instance."; ErrorCode = 1112017920;

The domain user account which had full Security rights in SCCM console, if got disabled & your new domain account is not having equivalent full rights. Then how will you access SCCM objects or delgate access to other user accounts? Security rights provide the capability to define and refine the level of access that users have when working with configuration manager objects. This gives you the ability to delegate specific tasks to specific groups of users. In my environment SCCM 2007 was installed by domain admin account "domain\SCCMAdmin1" on Primary site server. Domain\SCCMAdmin1 account has full access on all instances. As employee left the organization, this user account got disabled. Then we created another domain admin account "domain\SCCMAdmin2", Now if anyone will try to copy permissions of "domain\SCCMAdmin1" to "domain\SCCMAdmin2", definately it will give following error Errors ConfigMgr Error Object: instance of SMS_Extende

SMS Advanced Client Push Installation process
