ConfigMgr client install failure - Errors 1708 & 1603 in
Seen an interesting issue where the CCMSETUP parameters incorrectly specify MP as SMSMP, resulting in failure and exotic errors appearing in the CLIENT.MSI and CCMSETUP logs:
Just need to fire up CLIENT.MSI in SMSTRACE, find Return value 3 and you'll possibly see the following:
WARNING: The path passed for the TRK file is empty.
SMSMP cannot be specified without SMSSITECODE

CCMSETUP log file drops out at the following section: SmsSetClientConfigInit
MSI: Action 13:55:32: SmsSetClientConfigInit. Setting SMS configuration ccmsetup
MSI: Setup failed due to unexpected circumstances
The error code is 80004005 ccmsetup
Installation failed with error code 1603 ccmsetup
It's a classic mistake, easily overlooked.
CCMSETUP should be saying "Command line parameters for CCMSETUP incorrectly specified, unknown parameter SMSMP identified", but it doesn't as you can see above
