FortiClient EMS 7.4 case: A user moves departments and FortiClient remains connected but receives the wrong endpoint policy because rule priority differs from expectation. Which first-line investigation would best distinguish the suspected cause?
Compare endpoint group/user mapping, policy priority, server revisions and client applied profile logs. This diagnostic separates the suspected fault from other FortiClient EMS problems before altering security policy.

Evidence of success: A fresh client sync records the target endpoint policy and the expected protection configuration is active.

FortiClient EMS 7.4 case: A security alert names a quarantined file but investigators use an unrelated FortiGate VPN timestamp and miss the actual incident window. Which immediate corrective action best addresses the observed problem?
