Troubleshooting the "Failed To Get Targeted Update Error 0x87d00215"

1. Monitor Distribution Status: Regularly monitor the "Content Status" node in the SCCM console to ensure critical updates are successfully distributed to all DPs before deployment deadlines.
2. Boundary Group Hygiene: Ensure Boundary Groups are configured logically with proper fallback relationships to prevent clients from trying to download from a remote DP before the local one is ready.
3. ADR Schedules: If using Automatic Deployment Rules (ADRs), ensure the "Run Rule" schedule allows enough time for content to distribute to DPs before the deployment deadline occurs.
4. Maintenance Tasks: Enable the built-in SCCM maintenance task "Delete Aged Software Update Content" to prevent orphaned content issues.

1. Disable your antivirus real-time protection (right-click the system tray icon and look for “Disable temporarily”).
