Hi, Anoop!
I’ve installed patch two days ago and still had error about MicrosoftPolicyPlatformSetup.msi after installing clients. Do you know something about this problem?
Only KB2756872 resolved my problem.
I have this update and I’m still getting the error. l Couldn’t verify ‘C:\WINDOWS\ccmsetup\MicrosoftPolicyPlatformSetup.msi’ authenticode signature. Return code 0x800b0101
I can’t even uninstall and reinstall KB2756872
