To resolve this issue, perform ONE of the following:

• Install the NetIQ Group Policy Administrator (GPA) 4.x or 5.0 Console on the Agent machine where the domain endpoint is registered.
  
  OR
  
  
• Remove the domain endpoint from the current Agent machine and register the domain endpoint against an Agent machine that has the NetIQ GPA 4.x Console installed.
