How to Fix SCCM Error Code 0X87D0070C (-2016409844). I’m getting this error when trying to install KB3213522 for Windows-Server 2016. This cumulative update is available for deployment using the software updates in Configuration Manager.
When trying to install this update with SCCM get a failed status in Software Center.
When looking at the error details, get:
„The software change returned error code 0X87D0070C (-2016409844)„
This gets translated to: „Software update execution timeout”.
Looking at the Software Update properties in SCCM (Software Library – Software Update – All Software update), we can see that this error is set to a maximum run time of 10 minutes.
This update is considered a “Standard” update which gets a maximum run time of 10 minutes.
Change the value of “Maximum Run Time” to 60 minutes and click OK.
Relaunch the installation. The update will install correctly.
