When deploying the SCCM client, administrators may encounter the dreaded installation failure with error code 0x87d0027e. This error typically occurs when the client setup cannot communicate properly with the Management Point (MP), often due to HTTPS misconfiguration, certificate trust issues, or incorrect command-line parameters. In this guide, we’ll break down the causes of error 0x87d0027e, walk through step-by-step troubleshooting, and share best practices to ensure a smooth SCCM client installation across your environment.
Issue 1: Download fails when the Management Point is configured to use HTTPS
The SCCM client installation failed with the following error when the management point was configured for HTTPS.
[CCMHTTP] ERROR: URL=http://CMSRV01.techuisitive.local/ccm_system/request, Port=80, Options=1248, Code=0, Text=CCM_E_BAD_HTTP_STATUS_CODE
Failed (0x87d0027e) to send location request to 'CMSRV01.techuisitive.local'. StatusCode 403, StatusText 'Forbidden'
GetDPLocations failed with error 0x87d0027e
Failed to get DP locations as the expected version from MP 'CMSRV01.techuisitive.local'. Error 0x87d0027e
Solution for Error 0x87d0027e
When installing the Configuration Manager (SCCM) client from a Management Point (MP) configured for HTTPS, you must explicitly define the HTTPS properties using the /mp switch in the ccmsetup.exe command.
ccmsetup.exe SMSSITECODE=P01 /mp:https://mpserver.domain.com
SMSSITECODE=P01→ Site code where client should register/mp:→ Explicitly defines HTTPS Management Point
