Title
The symlink group policy is not applying on OSX 10.11 - Operation not permitted -
Description
After installing a supported version of Authentication Services (Version 4.1.0.22254 and up) on OSX 10.11 some symlinks configured in group policy are not applying. The following error is seen when running "vgptool apply":
CSE: Unable to create symlink( /usr/bin/vastool-->/opt/quest/bin/vastool )
Error was 1, Operation not permitted -
Cause
The "Operation not permitted" message seen when attempting to symlink to /usr is the expected result of new OSX 10.11 Rootless feature. -
Resolution
1) Disable Rootless feature. (Contact Vendor for instructions).
2) Modify the user path rather then symlink into something that's already in the path.
