    As rightly suggested abovr, use the below link to make sure the communication is good.

    If so, then check if the policy serial number on the client is matching with thta of its group in SEPM.

    If yes again, send us the logs sylink log

    @knawaz, Version 11.0.2000.1567 is almost 4 years old. I recommend upgrading at your earliest convenience. There have been thousands of fixes since MR2 released. You can log into Fileconnect with a valid serial number to get the latest version.

    I would recommend upgrading your SEPM to the latest version before you do anything else. MR2 is a very old build and the amount of improvements we have made to the product since is extensive.
