For a proxy FPolicy server on a Windows 2008 or 2012 computer, the file server must use ONTAP version 8.0.2 and later. However, if you are using an ONTAP version older than 8.0.2, then the proxy FPolicy server must be configured on a Windows 2003 computer.
-
Ensure that the Fpolicy Proxy computers selected as the primary client and secondary client are in the same domain as that of the file server. For more information, see Configuring F-Policy Proxy and Data Access Nodes.
