Hi,
We recently purchased SCSP 5.2.4.266 so that we could support Win2008 R2 platform. We earlier had SCSP 5.1.2 version.
In management console, when we import and apply our Prevention Policy template made using SCSP 5.1.2 (via Authoring Tool) to an Agent running on Win2008 R2, we get the following message:
Policy Error: This IPS policy cannot be applied to Windows Vista/2008
The agent is on the same version i.e 5.2.4.266. The health status shows green and connection is OK in management console.
On the agent's machine, in the SISIPSServicelog, there is always this entry when we apply our prevention policy:
"MSTA,16,2010-12-03 20:39:19.340 Z+0500,C,90,,96891db9acdf2f3b9140e0ea80ad106f,10133,,,,,UpdateThread,,F,,Translation,,,,,Policy Translation Failed: This IPS policy cannot be applied to Windows Vista/2008"
Few more questions:
1. When we import our Rule Set made with SCSP s/w 5.1.2 into Authoring tool (v5.2.4.266), and compile, we always get the following error "Error while compiling: unexpected error occurred while compiling 'policy test'". Strange enough, validation is successful and saving works OK.
2. Is there something that needs to be done for using Prevention Policies made with earlier SCSP releases to make it work with SCSP sw 5.2.4.266?
3. Are there any known Prevention policy compatibility issues?
Also please help with the above errors we are seeing.
Appreciate a quick response.
Thanks & Best regards
Ravi
