Let’s first validate whether the application content is properly distributed to distribution points or groups. To avoid issues with the content distribution of SCCM packages. Let’s check how to Redistribute package or application content to Distribution Point.

I had seen in many scenarios If we are facing the content download issue in all sites locations. Try to remove the content distribution, and package redistribution will work.

  1. Hi, I work at an organization with 1 site and 7 distribution points (6 on prem and one cloud DP). I am getting the 0x87D00607 on every application that our users try to install via software center. I have checked everything in your post about this error and all seems well. The one thing to note is that we recently changed VPNs from cisco to forticlient. Whenever someone creates a tunnel to work and tries to install something via software center it fails with the 0x87D00607 error no matter the application. When we disconnect the VPN and the machine is still connected to the internet the software downloads from the cloud DP and installs just fine. Also machines in the office that do not need to use our VPN work just fine as well. Any thoughts as to why our VPN is stopping the download of the content? I assume that is what is happening.

  2. There might be another problem, on user computer network connection is set as Metered Connection, and in that case Software Center will drop the same error. Just turn off Metered Connection using Settings/Network and Internet/Properties/Set as metered connection – OFF
