Hello,
I've been trying to get LANDesk to push some Windows Firewall settings to clients with a LANDesk agent. Untill now, it has been a daunting thing to accomplish.
What I want to do is set an exception for Sophos Anti-virus in the Windows Firewall. I've made a Windows Firewall settings in LANDesk which adds the Sophos main executable to the exceptions list. Scope is Any computer. The ID is 16.
I made a policy supported push as a delivery method and a scheduled task with the above Windows Firewall setting and delivery method.
When I run the scheduled task on one of my testmachines I get a status "Failed" and a result "Unable to get scan and repair settings from Core". We had this issue before. It was caused by the changing of the Windows Firewall setting, and thus the ID, while the scheduled task reffered to the old ID. I checked this by deleting the old scheduled task and making a new one. Again, the task failed with the same result.
This is the log file of the failed task
Processing package : PSP_Exception_Sophos_C

As you can see, the right firewallbehavior ID is used.
When I checked my testmachines, the changes pushed by the scheduled task were implemented correctly. I deleted the exception and switched the firewall off before I deployed the task. The firewall was on and the exceptions was enabled on all the machines.
I've searched for the specific error codes mentioned in the log, but cannot find anything.
Can anyone help me with this?
