I have configured the pull server with https protocol. 2. I was getting above error when client m/c was trying to pull the mof from pull server. 3. when I configured the pull server with http protocol , client machine could pull the configuration file . so I have missed something when configured the pull server with https protocol , so kindly help me on this issue. ---

Maybe something in the SSL config of the website. Here are a couple of things to check: 1- Verify that the certificate used for the website is trusted on the client side. Easiest way to do that is to load the URL you entered above in a browser and verify the certificate validation from there. Are you using a self-signed certificate or a cert from a CA? 2- Unless you also have a certificate installed on the client, make sure the SSL settings of the website for “Client Certificates” is set to “Ignore” or “Accept” but not “Required” ---

You might also want to check if FIPS mode is enabled on client ([info](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/secguide/2014/04/07/why-were-not-recommending-fips-mode-anymore/)). Also, you’ll find helpful information on Event Viewer, under: Windows \> Desired State Configuration \> Operational. Cheers ---

The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. —\> System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure This is the message I am getting in event viewer ---

Apparently you’re using a self sign certificate, no? Make sure to “trust” that certificate on the client computer. Try to open the URL of the pull server via a regular browser and see if there is SSL issues. Fix that before going to PS. ---
