Unable to Start SCCM ConfigMgr CB Setup Installation Invalid Object Name SetupInfo Configuration Manager

Unable to Start SCCM ConfigMgr CB Setup Installation: Invalid object name SetupInfo Configuration Manager? I stumbled across an issue where I can’t proceed to the second page of the SCCM / ConfigMgr Current Branch (CB) installation wizard.

Moreover, it was giving me SQL-related error/s (ConfigMgrSetupWizard Error: 1 : Exception message: [Invalid object name ‘SetupInfo’.], Exception details: [System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Invalid object name ‘SetupInfo’.) in “ConfigMgrSetupWizard.log“.

Introduction—Unable to Start SCCM ConfigMgr CB Setup Installation Invalid object—I tried restarting the server without any luck. Initially, when I tried to install the SCCM CB primary server, I got a Database creation error (*** [42000][5170][Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Cannot create file ‘P: DBSQLMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATACM_AN1.mdf’ because it already exists), and I gave a retry.

However, the SCCM CB installation wizard could not proceed to the second page, so I’m stuck. I didn’t find any installation traces in “Control Panel—Add Remove Programs,” so the only thing left was the registry key.

I found that the setup had created SMS keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS. I exported those keys (just in case) and then deleted them. I tried to rerun the SCCM CB setup. It worked like a champ!

Solution – Unable to Start SCCM ConfigMgr CB Setup Installation Invalid Object

Details of the SCCM CB SQL DB creation errors mentioned above: We’ve re-created the Data Files and Transaction log files according to best practices with the recommended size. There were multiple data files and transaction log files according to the SCCM CB server’s vCPU or CPU count.

For testing, I detached the created DB base and files and forgot to attach the SQL DB (before running the SCCM CB setup wizard). That was the root cause of the following error.

*** CREATE DATABASE [CM_AN1] ON ( NAME=CM_AN1,FILENAME='P:\DBSQL\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\CM_AN1.mdf') LOG ON ( NAME=CM_GW1_log,FILENAME='G:\DBSQL\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\CM_GW1_log.ldf')
