Inherit Policies over OUs in FortiClient EMS

Hi folks

Is it true, that it isn't possible to inherit an Endpoint Policy over organisation units in our local Active Directory?

So we have multiple Remote Desktop Server host which have  each an own OU. Now I want to set our EMS policy for RDS server on the OU about it, that I don't have to edit the policy each time we create a new "sub OU" with a new RDS server.

Example in screenshot. I want to add the policy to the OU "Terminal-Server" and it should inherit to all sub OUs, also new OUs.

 

Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi Anthony
No stress. It would only be more logical if this would inherited.

Hi padi, I'm not an EMS or AD expert but it sounds like this should work as you say. Are you trying this and it is not working? Or are you just looking for confirmation before you configure it?

Cheers,

Hi Graham

No its not a question its a statement. :)

I didn't test it for a long time, because we work already with the EMS and I need to have the correct policy on this server.

So what I belief it's not inherited.

But for me it would also be logically if it would be inherited an I hoped someone can confirm how it works.

Oh OK i see what you're saying now. I would suggest opening a TAC ticket for them to confirm and possibly put in a feature request.

Cheers,
Graham
