Management Point Installation Failure + Missing MP Log Files

Q. I have tried to install the MP on these sites via Site Management -> [Site] -> Site Settings -> Site Systems -> [Site Server] -> New Roles; this wizard runs through without errors, but once its complete nothing more happens. No MP appears on that site, and no entry for SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER appears under 'Site Status' for the secondary site also unable to install the manully on secondary server.

Solution :

The problem was being caused by an incorrect sender address from the primary site to these secondary sites; (caused by setting up secondary sites in these locations in the past, but installing SCCM on a different server).
So it seems that if youre having problems with installing a management point on a secondary site, and the symptoms include missing mp log files, and missing entries for the management point under Site Status, it's worth checking that your sender addresses are correct.
Site Management > [Primary Site] > Site Settings > Addresses > Right-click the address > properties
in my case the Site server name was set to the wrong server, so to fix i deleted this address and created a new one. once the new address was in place, i was able to add the management point site role and it installed correctly.

Cheers!!!!!!!!
