	Oh, interesting. Just after _BESClient_Download_DownloadsCacheLimitMB ... I'll have to fix that. I bet I missed that in my testing because that specific statement wasn't run due to the IF statement before it on my systems.

	strawgate - 7/1/2015 3:11:21 PM (from another version)
	Didn't realize it got rid of carriage returns... The error is on line 49 to 51 and it is an extra space before the equals sign.

	strawgate - 7/1/2015 3:10:26 PM (from another version)
	There is an error on this line: if {not exists settings "_BESClient_Download_DownloadsCacheLimitMB" whose( (it >= 10000) of (it as string as integer) of values of it ) of client} setting "_BESClient_Download_DownloadsCacheLimitMB" ="10000" on "{parameter "action issue date" of action}" for client endif The space before the equals sign causes the client to error out with: Command succeeded setting "_BESClient_Comm_CommandPollEnable"="1" on "Wed, 01 Jul 2015 21:53:17 +0000" for client (group:243,action:244) Command succeeded setting "_BESClient_Comm_CommandPollIntervalSeconds"="43200" on "Wed, 01 Jul 2015 21:53:17 +0000" for client (group:243,action:244) Command succeeded setting "_BESClient_Log_Days"="30" on "Wed, 01 Jul 2015 21:53:17 +0000" for client (group:243,action:244) Command succeeded setting "_BESClient_Report_MinimumInterval"="30" on "Wed, 01 Jul 2015 21:53:17 +0000" for client (group:243,action:244) Command succeeded setting "_BESClient_Download_RetryMinutes"="1" on "Wed, 01 Jul 2015 21:53:17 +0000" for client (group:243,action:244) Command succeeded setting "_BESClient_Download_MinimumDiskFreeMB"="2000" on "Wed, 01 Jul 2015 21:53:17 +0000" for client (group:243,action:244) Command succeeded setting "_BESClient_Download_UtilitiesCacheLimitMB"="200" on "Wed, 01 Jul 2015 21:53:17 +0000" for client (group:243,action:244) Command failed (Missing setting value) setting "_BESClient_Download_DownloadsCacheLimitMB" ="10000" on "Wed, 01 Jul 2015 21:53:17 +0000" for client (group:243,action:244)
