Use this property page to enable or disable the policies that will be applied to any container with which you associate the Container Package. After you've enabled a policy, you can modify it to meet the needs of the containers to which you are applying it.
Container Policies
Lists the available policies.
Enabled
This column indicates if the policy is enabled or disabled. To enable or disable the policy, select or deselect the check box.Policy
This column displays the name of the policy. Currently, the Container Package includes only the Search policy.The Search policy sets the searching process that ZENworks® for Desktops (ZfD) follows in enforcing associated policies. Because most policies in ZENworks for Servers (ZfS) are distributed rather than associated for enforcement, the Search policy is used in ZfS to enable the Distributor Agent to locate the Service Location Package for the ZENworks Database policy to write reporting information to the database file.
The Search policy contains the policy refresh frequency, search level, and search order settings.
If you don't set a Search policy, the default is to search from the parent container to the root every hour. This can create unnecessary search traffic, especially across slow network links. Therefore, we recommend that you make effective use of the Search policy.
You can have more than one Search policy in the tree (although just one per container object). The main purpose for having multiple Search policies in your tree is to minimize tree-walking. For example, you can have one "default" Search policy high up in the tree. Then you can create Search policies in various container objects in the tree (such as server containers or policy package containers). The first one found by ZfS or ZfD is enforced.
Schedule
This column indicates the schedule status of the policy. N/A means the policy cannot be scheduled.
