In v7.0.7 FortiNet seems to have changed an option:
config system antivirus quarantaine
FMG now defaults the destination option to disk.
Due to this policy package deployment will error out on every device that does support FortiGuard Antivirus but does not have a disk.
Come on Fortinet. At least YOU should know that you sell FGT without disks that do not support that. Why then default that option to "disk"?
Alas the other available options are "FortiAnalyzer" or "NULL".
In my case I could reset it to FortiAnalyzer since we have one running and all FGT are connected to it.
Not sure if "NULL" woud be accepted by the FGT. I did not test it. Thus I had to change that on 20 FGT since its a cli only option in device manger...
Just thought I let you know - just if anyone else runs into this issue...

Solved! Go to Solution.
im my case the workaround I mentioned solves the issue.
The only solution would be to fix that in the next FMG Firmware release.
This is also why I did not open a TAC case on this.
Just wanted to let the community know...

Hey sw2090,
thank you for clarifying and reporting the issue. It looks like this might match a reported FortiManager issue 891358, which should be fixed in 7.0.8 from what I saw.
Cheers,
Debbie
