Environment
NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager 6.0
Situation
An error occurs when running an SCAP template. The error message is "The agent cannot run the specified SCAP policy template because it cannot resolve the Core Services computer name. Ensure the Core Services computer IP address is specified in the agent properties."
Resolution
Perform the following
steps:
1. Prior to converting
the SCAP contents to XCCDF Conversion Utility, rename all the SCAP files so
that they don't contain any space. As an example, if the XCCDF file name is NB
Win2008R2 DC-xccdf.xml, rename it to NB-Win2008R2-DC-xccdf.xml.
2. As per above
example, rename all occurrences of "NB Win2008R2 DC" to
"NB-Win2008R2-DC" in NB-Win2008R2-DC-cpe-dictionary.xml and
NB-Win2008R2-DC-xccdf.xml files.
3. Now import the XCCDF
file to XCCDF Conversion Utility.
Cause
This issue may occur when the SCAP template refers to XCCDF files that have spaces in their names. Spaces are not considered, and this causes the SCAP template to fail.
