Solution: Verify that the site system is turned on, connected to the network, and functioning properly.

Possible cause: Site Component Manager does not have sufficient access rights to administer the site system.
Solution: Verify that the Site System Connection accounts are properly configured to allow the site to administer the site system.

Cause

The file md4ws.msi was missing on site server in D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\x64 folder. This file is for Microsoft Defender.

Solution

The reason behind missing file was unknow. However same file was present in another folder “D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\CMUClient\x64”. I simply copied the file to D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\x64 folder from where ConfigMgr setup was trying to copy the file to destination folder.. The Management Point installation was succeded on all MP at next retry.
