If you are setting up a brand-new device outside of production and do not immediately rely on the Cortex Data Lake platform or AIOps, you can temporarily halt the background attempts causing the error: Navigate to > Setup > Telemetry in the WebUI. Click the gear icon inside the Telemetry widget. Uncheck Enable Telemetry and click OK . Commit your changes.

The error triggers when the private key securely stored in the TPM does not match the public key registered in the Palo Alto Customer Support Portal (CSP). Common triggers include:
The error typically indicates a deep-seated mismatch between the hardware-bound security keys on a Palo Alto Networks firewall and the certificate records stored in the Cloud Services Portal (CSP). This issue prevents the device from establishing a trusted identity, which is critical for services like Cloud Identity Engine (CIE) and ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning).
