FortiClient EMS 7.4 case: An enterprise copies advanced endpoint settings to mixed Linux and Windows groups without checking feature availability. Which first-line investigation would best distinguish the suspected cause?
Compare client version, OS capability matrix, component install state and effective endpoint configuration. This diagnostic separates the suspected fault from other FortiClient EMS problems before altering security policy. If confirmed, implement: Create compatible OS-specific profile settings and document supported functional differences. Evidence of success: Representative clients on every supported platform show the controls their operating system actually supports.
