When assigning a policy to a device, you can specify the schedule for applying the policy. Depending on the type of policy being applied, the following schedules are available. Click the link in the left frame for details about each policy and its options, which vary, depending on the schedule. Keep in mind that there are two different refresh schedules: the one you set with the individual policy and the System Global Refresh Schedule you set under the tab. Otherwise, you might get unexpected results. For example, if you set a policy to refresh every day and don’t change the System Global Refresh Schedule, the policy will refresh every two hours by default.

Remote Execute and Text File policies |

Schedule when the policy is enforced, either immediately after the device refreshes or a specified amount of time after the device refreshes. The event runs on the first device refresh only and will not run on subsequent refreshes. You can also specify whether the policy’s enforcement is repeated and specify a time period when you do not want the policy enforced to help minimize network traffic during that time. For more information, see Section 17.9, Refreshing Policies. |
