    Question about ADOMs. In previous versions of FortiOS 4.3 maybe earlier. When you had multiple devices under an ADOM the policies and objects were clearly separated per device being managed. With the newer FortiOS it seems as though there is overlapping and my policies and objects seem to be cross contaminated between devices. What is your perspective on this and/or work around? Thank you in advance – Richard

      I always keep my devices separated by Firmware version. ADOM 4.3 ADOM 5.2 ADOM 5.4 etc to keep things nice and neat.

    I have an issue for deleting the V4.2 ADOMs from FMG V5.2 getting the below error.

    Some ADOM(s) were not deleted successfully because they are not empty

    But those ADOMs are not used anywhere. How to find out where it is used?

    No admin accounts having access to the ADOM, No policy package for the ADOM.

      Usually, it experiences this issue because something somewhere is still referencing it. Whether that item be a policy package as you mentioned before or a group etc.

    Hi Mike,

    We use fortimanager v5.4.1-build1082 160629 (GA) FMG-VM64 but we cant drag and drop within the rule base. (drag en drop from the object side plain does work) I have seen a instruction video were they lock the adom but also that future is non exsistent in our GUI.

    You have any idea what this could be ? I did not see any issues on this subject on the fortinet site. We have upgraded from a older version FM.

    kind regards and thanks for this great support site, i look here first!

    Hello,

    HELP !! we have multiple firewalls we would like to upload on our Fortimanager in the same ADOM.

    The problem is that some objects have the same names but different IPs adresses. i read that the only solution is mapping the objects. if we do so we will have to it manually on every object (more than ~200) which is not an option for me. Can you please help me with this problem ?
