Automatic deployment rule failed with error code 0X87D20417

1 Min Read

The automatic deployment rule failed with error code 0X87D20417. In my SCCM environment (1610 CB with last updates) I get an automatic deployment rule failed with error code 0X87D20417.

When I check the ruleengine.log, it reports these lines:

Downloading content with ID 16803330 in the package SMS_RULE_ENGINE
Failed to download the update from internet. Error = 12002 SMS_RULE_ENGINE
Failed to download ContentID 16803330 for UpdateID 16812681. Error code = 12002 

To fix the Configuration Manager error code 0X87D20417, try the below-mentioned steps. If none of these worked post it in the comments.

  • Try recreating the automatic deployment rule again. Deleting the existing ADR and creating a new one works most of the time.
  • Automatic Deployment Rules don’t work when you use specific proxy authentication on a site server. There is a hotfix available for this issue. Note that the hotfix is applicable only if you have installed the Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager.
  • Error code=3 means the system cannot find the path specified. So ensure you have provided the correct path to download the updates.
  • Wait some time, there may be problems not on your side.
  • Restart your Configuration Manager server.

  • I am having this as well started a week ago on ADRs that did not change.

    I get error code = 80 Any idea what that code is for?

      • Sorry for the delay, yes it seems clearing out the c:\windows\temp fixes the issue. Having to do this every couple of week now for some reason. Looks like Defender is leaving the 0kb .TMP files behind now.
