Windows Agents on the internet (9.6 SP1) cannot sync policies through CSA. Patch, Inventory and Remote Control DO work through the CSA, and if I do a Portal sync BEFORE putting the computer in the Internet, I CAN download and install the listed packages through the CSA. It is just policy sync that is failing, all else works great.
The Portal Manager quickly throws "Failed to load packages" when clicking the refresh/sync button. The same computer syncs just fine when connected to the corporate network.
PolicySync.log:

PolicySync.exe.log:

Of course this machine cannot talk to a domain controller when it is off the corporate network, so why is the whole Sync failing just because of an expected condition?
Also, when I manually run ldapwhoami.exe from a command prompt, it does return data but also a 1355 exit code. Shouldn't PolicySync be treating 1355 as a SUCCESS instead of FAIL when not connected to corporate network?
