Hi All,

 

I'm getting the below error when importing clients to the policy manager.user has full access rights.any idea?

 

"selected domain is read only and cannot be used as a target"

Is this target domain bound to any ActiveDirectory synchronization rule?

hi Dandelion,

 

Yes.there is a ActiveDirectory synchronization rule.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

by design, the domains bound to AD synchronization rules can't be updated manually. You should use another domain for the hosts you'd like to add.

HI,

 

You meant sub domain?how to create a another domain and add clients?Please elaborate

 

Thanks

Once you create an AD synchronization rule and bind it to a domain, this domain (and everything below it in the domain tree) becomes read-only: the underlying structure is taken from the AD and can't be modified manually. If you want to add some hosts manually, you need to create a policy domain outside this AD-managed domain, and add hosts there.

 

Please note that if you bind an AD synchronization rule to the 'Root' domain, then the entire tree becomes read-only. In situations like yours, if you want to keep the ability to add hosts manually, you should bind the rules to the dedicated sub-domains in the domain tree, not the 'Root'.

Hello, 

 

it's hard to say without specific data from your environment what's wrong. Please contact the F-Secure support on that issue.

Hello asanka,

 

Network connections malfunction most likely is shown because F-Secure Anti-Virus Firewall Daemon service failed to start for some reason.

To find the reason, additional information from affected machine(s) is required.

 

Best regards,
