Cause SCOM client running on the mid server and SCOM manager does not have common TLS algorithm to communicate with each other.

Resolution Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\ on both Mid server and Scom server. In the protocol registry, you will see all TLS cipher suites like TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. You can enable or disable it for both Client and server. Enabled will have value 1 where as disable will have value 0. Make sure SCOM server and Scom client have a common cipher suite to communicate. 4.If you would like to specifically communicate on TLS 1.2, you will have to configure the SCOM server.
