Recently I worked with a customer that has a SCCM 2012 setup configured with a Central Administration Site (CAS) and several primary sites connected.

When creating a “Stand-Alone” media on the CAS server, deployment of Packages failed with error: hr=0x87d01004. According to Microsoft this error occurs because the Software Distribution Agent is not enabled since the client has not yet received policy.

Greg Ramsey has written a blog post about this issue, explaining in details and presenting three solutions:

• Create the stand-alone media at a Primary site instead of the Central Administration Site (CAS), or
• Replace all “Install Software” TS Steps with “Run Command Line,”
• Add a Run Command Line step to the task sequence after the Setup Windows       and Configuration with this WMI query:

WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm\policy\machine\requestedconfig path ccm_SoftwareDistributionClientConfig CREATE ComponentName="Enable SWDist", Enabled="true", LockSettings="TRUE", PolicySource="local", PolicyVersion="1.0", SiteSettingsKey="1" /NOINTERACTIVE
