Error Publishing Policy

Question

Hi, I encountered an error when publishing a policy to the clients. The error message is displayed in a dialog box after clicking on "Publish".
"The Management Console was unable to complete the policy assignment. The requested policy assignment has been queued and will be replicated to the Distribution Service during the next scheduled synchronization interval. To review your configured synchronization intervals open the configuration window from the Tools menu."
Can anyone explain the cause and how to resolve it? Thanks.

Answer 1

I never saw that error. Default values for infrastructure settings are fine for most implementations.
Anyway, keep posting if you have problems.

I have 3 PCs, 1 running xp sp2 1 running win server 2008 and 1 running
win server 2003. the xp box is the client machine, the server 2008 box
is the AD machine, and the server 2003 box is a single server
installation of ESM.
I have been using the 2nd policy that I created with no issues. I
actually ended up deleting the original policy yesterday afternoon
because it was still giving me that message.
I never did figure out what was causing it, but I needed to move on
with the evaluation so I'm continuing with the 2nd policy and we'll see
how that goes...
Thanks for the reply!!
