In FortiManager 5.0 and later, FortiClient endpoint agent configuration and management are handled by FortiGate Endpoint Control. You can configure your FortiGate to discover new devices on your network, enforce FortiClient registration, and deploy a pre-configured endpoint profile to connected devices. This feature requires a FortiGate running FortiOS version 5.0 or later.

For more information, see the Device and Client Reputation for FortiOS 5.0 Handbook in the Fortinet Document Library.

FortiManager 5.0 and later uses a new hard disk drive partition layout. After upgrading from pre-version 5.0 to 5.0 or later, you must make a backup and then reformat the disk with this command:

execute format {disk | disk-ext4 | disk-ext3}

Formatting the disk erases all local logs and FortiGuard database information. Back up any local event logs you wish to keep. The device will have to re-download all the AV/IPS/AS/WF objects from the FortiGuard Distribution Servers (FDS). This download might take up to half a day. During that time, managed devices cannot obtain these services from FortiManager, so during this time, configure devices to point to a backup FortiManager or the FDS for these services.
