SharePoint 2016 Products configuration Wizard failed at Step 3

ISSUE:

While Running the SharePoint Products configuration Wizard it got failed at Step 3 which was creating SharePoint config Db.

Checked the logs found the below Error

Trouble Shooting:

Was thinking that is something to do with the account i am using to configure the SharePoint.

So logged into SQL and give Db creator , Sysadmin and security admin to the account which i was using.After that run the SharePoint Products configuration Wizard again but it still fails at steps 3.

Suddenly i saw anther error but this on SharePoint Products configuration Wizard GUI only.

It stated the The RPC server Unavailable.

Resolution :

To add the IP address in host file open the following file: c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts in notepad and add entry for your DC.

In my case it was 127.0.0.1

After that SharePoint Products configuration Wizard was completed with any issue.

Happy SharePointing :)
