RE: Policy install error

The symptoms you are experiencing are related to a known issue. We do have a workaround ready to go at this time. The steps are as follows:

On the SmartDashboard GUI client machine that logs into the SmartCenter
Server:

Stop the SmartCenter:
1. cpstop


Remove the following files:
1. $FWDIR/conf/inspect.C
2. $FWDIR/lib/updates.def


Start the SmartCenter:
1. cpstart


Update the asm_update_version parameter:

1. Run the GuiDBedit, by running the following program:
C:\Program Files\CheckPoint\SmartConsole\R55\PROGRAM\GuiDbedi t.exe
2. In the upper left Tables tab, select the Table > Managed Objects > asm branch.
3. In the upper right pane, select the AdvancedSecurityObject object.
4. In the lower pane, find the property with the name "asm_update_version".
5. Double-click the asm_update_version property entry.
6. In the Edit dialog box, enter "-1" in the Value field.
7. Click "OK" in the Edit field.
8. In GuiDBedit, select File > Save All.
9. Select File > Exit to exit the GuiDBedit.


Perform the SmartDefense Update, and install policy:

1. Log in to SmartDashboard.
2. Execute the SmartDefense Update. (the version # will remain 541050818)
3. Install policy.
