Please also note the combination is not supported.
The policy server must meet or exceed the sp and cr of the web agent. we cdd new features between the service packs and thus not matching service packs IS a big deal.
also, it sounds like agent wait time may come into play here.
I hate to thread jack...but I thought that a the policy server had to meet or exceed at the SP level but for CR that the web agent could have higher version than the policy server.
Wasn't that new starting in 6SP5?
Hi David!
That was new to 12.0 SP3. this was never done in 6.0.
It is still best practice to always have a matching or newer CR on the Policy Server but it's not officially supported to have just the SP match until 12.0 sp3.
Personally i will still troubleshoot until i have a reason to beleive that the CR is the key, and i think most others here will too.
With SPs though, as previously stated, we use that as the delivery for major changes that can cause a lack of backward compatability.
The best example I can think of is 6.0 SP6. the changes for newer technologies actually changed things so drastically the web agents look for more information to come across than suypplied with previous versions of the Policy Server.
Sincerely,
Josh
