Broken link between Windows 7 SCCM clients and MP. Application portal fails to install applications

[simiyuj]

I have an issue on my SCCM 2012 SP1 server managing 2000+ clients. Apparently most of the Windows 7 client machine status suddenly changed status to inactive and when I deploy applications they cannot be reached as they appear as Unknown. Similarly I cannot install any application from the client on the self service portal and I get the error “cannot install or request software. The security information for this application could not be verified”. The system and component status shows all is green OK. I have tried to remove and reinstall the MP role but there is no change. The MP health check reveals it is OK.

A review at the Windows 7 clients logs reveals the following:

Any ideas on how to resolve the issue will be highly appreciated.

0x87d00231 = Transient error

 

So it sound like you have a network error that has nothing to do with CM12
