Updating the PAT Version on the Server after Restore

Restoring an earlier configuration (.tgz) file to a new Endpoint Security Management Server also restores the older Policy Assignment Table (PAT). If the PAT version on the restored server is lower than the PAT version on the client, the client will not download policy updates.

To get the PAT version from a client connected to the server:

1. Open the Windows registry.
2. Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\EndPoint Security\Device Agent
3. Double-click the PATVersion value.

   The Edit String window opens.

4. Copy the number in the Value data field. This is the PAT version number.

To change the PAT version on the server:

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Change directory to:

   Gaia - $UEPMDIR/bin

3. Run the Endpoint Security Management Security utility (uepm.exe) and set the new PAT version:

   Gaia: $UEPMDIR/bin>uepm patver set <old_PAT_version_number> + 10

4. Make sure the new PAT version is set by running:

   Gaia: $UEPMDIR/bin>uepm patver get
