You can apply changes to policies at any time. Typically you wait to apply changes until you have completed your configuration changes on all policy tabs.
Note: You should not enable Activation or Full Synchronization until you are satisfied with your initial policy configuration.
Navigate to any of the following policy tabs. It doesn't matter which tab you use. Changes are applied to all policy tabs that have been modified.
OU/Containers
Computers
Groups
Users.
Click Apply Changes.
An "on demand" incremental synchronization is started. This is the same incremental synchronization performed by Activation, which recurs on a fixed time period.
Domain Watch harvests detailed data for the Active Directory objects you set to "included" in the policies you configured.
Harvesting is complete when the Policy Status for all policies says Applied.
