FCConfig will not Backup/Restore configuration (FortiClient 6.4.7)

Hello @flurian1999 ,

Hi Flurian, 

Can you please try it like this:

You need to run the command from the c:\program files\fortinet\forticlient directory. 

FCConfig -m all -f <filename> -o import -i 1 -p <encrypted password>

Best regards,

Pedro 

Hi,

Can you please specify how the config that you are trying to import is generated?

Can you try to run Powershell or CMD as admin and test the same issue?

Here you can see more about this error:

Kind regards 

Does someone have any news about this issue?

I'm trying to automatize the configuration of my Forticlients via fcconfig, but there is no way to get it working properly, simply because it seems that the parameter -o importvpn does not work at all.  If you use it, the forticlient show a pop-up saying "Invalid parameter".

IF you use -o import it runs normally, but you need to be an administrator do do that. That way is impossible to deploy via SCCM, GPO or something like that, because you need the command to be run on the user session. Therefore, the user needs to has permission to do so.

Any hint would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can you refer FortiClient 7.0.2 XML Reference Guide:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.0.2/xml-reference-guide/10217/backing-up-and-restoring-cli-utility-commands-and-syntax

"Fortinet provides administrators the ability to import and export configurations via the CLI."

Yes to use this options it is require admin permissions.

Thanks
