No machines eligible for policy installation



If you see this error message when attempting to install the security policy, you have not defined any objects in such a way that FireWall?-1 knows it can install a security policy on them.

You should have at least one workstation object defined as an "Internal" (versus external), "Gateway" (versus host), and the "FireWall-1 Installed" checked. I often refer to this kind of object as an "internal gateway with FireWall-1 installed."

If you are managing some other sort of object that runs Check Point's stateful inspection engine, you need to make sure you define the object as internal with FireWall-1 installed (as appropriate).

This error comes with a new installation of R71 / R75 when starting the GUI on Windows 7.

If this error occurs, start the Smartcenter in "Windows XP-Compatibility-Mode" and it will work. If not try also administration-rights...

This is what we see when we get this error. What we do to get around the issue is indicated in the yellow speech bubble.
All you need to do click around where you know the box should be, and a check mark will show up. Doe any one know the "official" checkpoint reason for this issue, and is there a fix?
Perhaps some tweaking in DBedit, since it is what controls the GUI client, kind of.

Thanks for figuring this out. I wasted an hour and a half this week trying to figure out what I'd done wrong. I even reinstalled the Security Gateway to try to fix this problem. Grrr.
