Please let me know any solutions to fix....
Steps, I did try from one of the blogs -
Open Component Services. Got oStart --> Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Components Services. Expand the Component Services branch then expand Computers, My Computer and DCOM Config. Right-click on "sms agent host" (my case) and click
Properties. Click on the Security tab and under “Launch and Activation Permissions” select "edit" and add user Local Service (Local lunch). Click OK, close the Component Services window.
In the Launch Permission dialog box, make sure that the Everyone group has Remote Launch and Remote Activation permissions.
In the Launch Permission dialog box, make sure that the SMS Reporting Users local group has following permissions:
Local Launch / Remote Launch / Local Activation / Remote Activation
Also added Remote Launch / Remote Activation permission for Network Service (for the SMS_Reporting_Point)
Added Admin Group to the "ConfigMgr Remote Control Users"
VT

Answer 1

In addition, In the security policy the ‘Local Service’ need to be configured for the following Policies
- Generate security audits
- Create global objects
- Replace a process level token
- Adjust memory quotas for a process
- Impersonate a client after authentication
- Log on as a service
- Bypass traverse checking
Hope this helps.
