Hi John,

The most frequent issue that we see with this error is that ICMP needs to be
enabled on the router.
The ports that we need to verify that are opened are:
TCP:135
UDP:53
TCP,UDP: 88 and ephemeral ports (high ports)
We also need to enable ICMP between the server and the GC if we need to get
policies.

This will sometimes also show the error value 59
