● Added 2/2017 - Policy validation beginning in v9.5 may result in an "Error Validating Policy " message in the Remote
Management Console when attempting to view policy when the value of the policy is incorrectly formatted. To work around
this issue, correct the formatting of affected policy values. To identify the affected policies, follow these steps:
1. Open <Core Server install directory> PolicyService.config.
Enterprise Server - Program Files\Dell\Enterprise Edition\Core Server
VE - /opt/dell/server/core-server
2. Change the StrictValidation property value from true to false: <property name="StrictValidation"
value="false"/>
3. Restart the services.
4. In the Remote Management Console, navigate to view policy at the level where the Error Validating Policy previously
occurred, and note the policy name identified in the error.
5. Correct the policy value formatting, and click Save.
6. In the left pane, click Management > Commit, enter the policy change description, and click Commit Policies.
7. If desired, change the StrictValidation property value from false back to true, to re-enable policy validation.
