Understanding Clearing of Policies

Disabling a policy in NetWare® Administrator does not immediately clear it at the workstation. The workstation must run the policy with the cleared settings because the settings for each policy are saved in the workstation's registry.

There are three states for policy settings: Enable, Disable, and Ignore. The Disable state must be used to clear a policy. The Ignore state (the box is dimmed, and is checked or not checked) will not guarantee the clearing or enabling of a policy, since it will allow the workstation to continue with whichever policy setting it previously had.
