Error 0x87D13B7F: Missing App Configuration Policy

Error Message

Needed app configuration policy not present, ensure policy is targeted to same groups.

Error Details​

PropertyValue
Error Code (Hex)0x87D13B7F
Error Code (Dec)-2016330881

Description​

info

This error occurs when attempting to deploy an application that requires specific configuration policies, but the necessary app configuration policy is not targeted to the same groups as the app deployment. This alignment between app deployment and configuration targeting is essential for proper app functionality and management.

Common Causes​

🎯 Targeting Misalignment​

Group targeting inconsistencies often lead to configuration policy gaps. App deployment groups may not match configuration policy assignment groups. Dynamic group membership changes could affect policy application. Incomplete policy targeting can prevent proper app configuration. Understanding the relationship between app and policy targeting is crucial for successful deployment.

⚙️ Configuration Management Issues​

Policy management complexities can result in incomplete configuration coverage. Required configuration policies might be missing or incorrectly defined. Policy assignments may not properly cascade through group hierarchies. Configuration dependencies might not be clearly documented or understood. Regular policy alignment verification is essential for maintaining proper app configuration.

Resolution Steps​

1️⃣ Policy Review​

Begin with a comprehensive review of existing app configuration policies. Identify all configuration policies required by the application. Verify policy definitions and settings are correct. Document current policy assignments and targeting rules. Compare policy targeting with app deployment targeting.

2️⃣ Group Alignment​

Implement necessary changes to align policy and app targeting. Review group memberships and hierarchies affecting policy application. Update policy assignments to match app deployment groups. Verify policy targeting reaches all required devices or users. Document all targeting changes for future reference.

3️⃣ Validation​

Conduct thorough testing of policy application and alignment. Monitor policy deployment status across target groups. Verify configuration policy application on affected devices. Test app functionality with applied configurations. Document successful policy application patterns.

Best Practices​

👨‍💻 For IT Administrators​

Effective configuration management requires careful attention to policy targeting. Maintain comprehensive documentation of required app configurations. Implement regular audits of policy and app targeting alignment. Develop clear procedures for managing configuration dependencies. Create systematic approaches to policy verification. Consider implementing automated policy compliance monitoring.

🔄 For Policy Management​

Successful policy management requires attention to targeting relationships and dependencies. Develop clear processes for maintaining policy-app alignment. Maintain accurate documentation of configuration requirements. Implement thorough testing procedures for policy changes. Create comprehensive documentation of targeting strategies and dependencies.

Troubleshooting Tips​

Configuration Management

When addressing policy alignment issues, focus on systematic verification. Review all related configuration policies and their targeting. Verify group membership and policy inheritance. Test policy application after changes. Maintain clear documentation of policy relationships.

Common Pitfalls

Policy management involves several potential complications. Group membership changes may affect policy application. Multiple policies might interact unexpectedly. Consider timing factors in policy application. Monitor for unintended consequences of targeting changes.
