The Policy Management (KPM) module in the VSA manages agent settings by policy. Once policies are assigned to machines, machine groups or organizations, policies are propagated automatically, without further user intervention.
The System Management Wizard
A policy setup wizard is located on System > Orgs/Groups/Depts/Staff > Manage > Systems Management tab.
The Systems Management Configuration setup wizard enables you to quickly configure and apply machine management policies for a specific organization. Once configured, these polices are assigned to each machine you manage on behalf of that organization. Policies govern many different aspects of machine management:
With policies you no longer have to manage each machine individually. You only have to assign or change the policy. A policy assignment or a change within an assigned policy is propagated within 30 minutes to all member machines without you having to schedule anything. Once applied, you can quickly determine whether managed machines are in compliance or out of compliance with their assigned policies. Compliance tracking by individual policy provides you with the information you need to deliver IT services consistently throughout the organizations you manage.
Note: See the Standard Solution Package for a detailed explanation of each option in the setup wizard.
