Enforcing product policies

Prev Next

Policy enforcement is enabled by default, and is inherited in the System Tree, but you can manually enable or disable enforcement on specified systems.

You can manage policy enforcement from these locations:

  • Assigned Policies tab of the System Tree — Choose whether to enforce policies for products or components on the selected group.

  • Policy Catalog page — View policy assignments and enforcement. You can also lock policy enforcement to prevent changes below the locked node.

Important consideration: If policy enforcement is turned off, systems in the specified group don't receive updated site lists during an agent-server communication. As a result, managed systems in the group might not function as expected.

For example, you might configure managed systems to communicate with Agent Handler A. If policy enforcement is turned off, the managed systems do not receive the new site list with this information and the systems report to a different Agent Handler listed in an expired site list.
