- Easiest Approach -- <Right Click> on the computer and select Comply with All Group Policies
- View Computer Details -- There are 3 areas where the computer can differ from it's policy. <Right Click> on a computer that differs from its policy and determine from the View Computer Details area which area is in violation. Once it's determined, <Right Click> on the computer, again, and direct the system to Comply With either All Group Policies, or the specific policy it is violating:
- Anti-Virus and HIPS
- Updating Policy
- Tamper Protection Status and Protection Compliance
- Differs From Policy Compliance -- If the Status of the computer shows Differs From Policy, then try moving the computer to a different group to see if it will shake up the policy compliance. If it does, you can, then try to move it back into its original group.
- Scheduled Tasks -- Many times, when it shows Differs from Policy, the problem is with the Scheduled Task being applid to the system. Remote to the local system and determine whether or not the policy shows in the Sophos Endpoint Security and Control client that was installed on the computer. It is located under the Scans option in the Anti-Virus and HIPS container on the Home page of the client. It "should" show the Scheduled Task. If it doesn't, work on that systems Task Scheduler. There's a problem with it. You can also see Task Scheduler Problems.
- Reinstall the Client Software -- Try reinstalling the client software to the client. Sometimes that shakes it up a bit.
- Reboot the System -- Of course, some problems can be always be resolved by rebootin rebooting the system. Probably This may not work, but, hey, it's worth a try.
