Enable Mac Application Layer Firewall via k1000
I'm very new to remote mac management via the k1000. I just created a script via the Security Policy wizard, and have attached the correct (test) macbook air to the list of deployment machines. I'm recieveing this error in the logs. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, it looks like Kace is attempting to launch the plistbuddy process. From what i'm reading (and i cold be wrong) there is no plistbuddy in 10.8... hence the "Run Failure" that i keep seeing in the logs.
Now, after testing, I am able to push this script to my 10.8 macbook air. Thanks for the effort and help jknox.

Sorry, hadn't had a chance to test it out yet. Submit a support ticket so a bug can be generated. Seems like a new script will need to be written. - jknox 11 years ago

What version of OS X is this running on? What version of the K1000 agent?
What options did you select for the firewall on the security policy?
Does it work if you execute the commands manually?
Enable debug, deploy the policy and see if the logs give you any further detail: http://www.kace.com/support/resources/kb/article/how-to-enable-debug-logs-on-the-kace-k1000-client-kbox-client-deployment

Is there any way this could be a permissions issue?
