If you assign a new policy to a device or update a policy, you can ensure that the policy is updated on managed devices by refreshing the policies. Each device periodically refreshes its settings. It is not necessary to manually refresh each device after updating a policy. To ensure that the updated policy is immediately pulled down, you can manually refresh the device using the following methods:
In the ZENworks Control Center, click the
tab, select the appropriate device, click , then click .On a managed device, start a console session and execute the rug refresh command.
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES 10) or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED 10) managed devices:
/usr/bin/rug refresh
On other managed devices:
/opt/novell/zenworks/bin/rug refresh
Performing either action results in the managed device refreshing its policies and other settings. A newly assigned or updated policy is delivered to the device and is applied according to its schedule.
