You can manually update the policies and use the policy serial numbers to check whether your managed client computers can communicate with your management server. If the client does not receive the update, there might be a communication problem.
You first check the policy serial number on the client to see if it matches the serial number that appears in the console. If the client communicates with the management server and receives regular policy updates, the serial numbers should match.
If the policy serial numbers do not match, you can try to manually update the policies on the client computer and check the troubleshooting logs.
See Performing tasks that are common to all security policies
To update policies manually from the console
Under Clients, right-click a group that is configured for Pull mode, and then click Run Command on Group.
Client computers that are configured for Push mode receive policy updates immediately, so you do not need to update them manually.
Check the policy serial numbers on the console and on a client computer to see if the numbers match.
