4.5 Distributing Policies

You must distribute a Distributed Server Package before its policies are in effect. When you do distribute the package, its enabled policies are only in effect for the server where it is distributed after the Subscriber has extracted the Distribution.

To distribute policies to a server:

  1. Create a Distribution that is a Policy Package type.

  2. Configure the policies in the policy package.

  3. Select a Channel for the Policy Package Distribution.

  4. Subscribe the Subscribers to the selected Channel.

  5. Send the Distribution.

The Policy/Package Agent on the receiving server extracts the enabled policies and enforces them on the server.

For more information on creating Policy Package Distributions, see Creating and Configuring the Distribution.
