A.6 Policy Package

Use this option when the Distribution consists of one or more policy packages containing enabled and configured policies. This is how Subscribers receive policies.

Only the policies contained in the Distributed Policy Package are distributed for enforcement on Subscriber servers. The Container Package and Service Location Package are not distributed; they continue to be associated for enforcement on Distributor servers.

To send a Policy Package Distribution to a Subscriber using an External Subscriber object, you must edit the agentinfo.properties file to prevent trusted tree errors. For more information, see Preventing Trusted Tree Errors for Policy Package Distributions.

For information on creating specific policies, see Section 4.0, Server Policies.

A.6.1 Up/Down

A.6.2 Add

A.6.3 Delete

Deletes the policy package from those listed.

A.6.4 Properties
