All solutions to error 0x87D00607: The software change returned error code 0x87D00607 (-2016410105)

Last week I stumbled upon error 0x87D00607 (-2016410105). When I googled for “The software change returned error code 0x87D00607 (-2016410105)”, I mainly got “check your boundaries” as a possible solution. However, there may be other causes for this error. With this blog post, I’m trying to sum up all causes and solutions for error 0x87D00607.

Solution 1:  Check your IP-Address / DHCP / DNS

Your client may have a different IP address from what your SCCM server has in mind.
On your Client, run ipconfig /all, and note the IP address.
Then on your SCCM-server, ping the client and verify the IP address is the same.
In my case, I noticed a difference and found out my DNS server wasn’t functioning correctly. To solve:

1. I deleted the DNS-record of the client on my DNS server
2. I ran ipconfig /flushdns on my SCCM server
3. I ran ipconfig /registerdns on my client

Solution 2: Check whether your boundary covers your IP address

In SCCM, you may have configured your boundary (group) to host range 192.168.1.0/24. However, if your client has IP address 192.168.2.10, it will not be able to use the Distribution Point associated with your Boundary (group). To solve, you have multiple options:

• Change the clients’ IP address to an address within the boundary
• Extend the boundary, so that it covers the IP address of the client
• Create a new boundary and add it to the boundary group

Solution 3: Verify the distribution point is part of the boundary group

The distribution point needs to be a part of the boundary (group). If no site system is added as content location for a boundary group, no software will be deployed. To verify your DP in a boundary group, open the properties of the Boundary Group. Then go to References and note the content locations. If there’s no DP, add one.
