4.24 Publishing a Sandbox

The sandbox must be published for the changes to be effective on the devices and users to whom the policy is assigned. You can choose to publish the sandbox either as a new version or as a new policy. Review the following sections:

4.24.1 Publishing a Sandbox as a New Version

Publishing a sandbox as a new version lets you create a new version of the policy that has a version number incremented by one from the latest available version of the policy.

To publish the sandbox as a new version:

  1. In the Displayed Version option on the policy page, select sandbox.

  2. Click Publish to display the Publish Option page.

  3. Click Publish as New Version.

  4. Click Finish to create a new published version.

    For example, if the Displayed Version option on the policy page lists 0(Published), 1(Published), and sandbox, publishing the sandbox as a new version creates a version 2. The Displayed Version option on the policy page now lists 0(Published), 1(Published), and 2(Published).

4.24.2 Publishing a Sandbox as a New Policy

Publishing a sandbox as a new policy creates a new policy.

  1. In the Displayed Version option on the policy page, select sandbox.

  2. Click Publish to display the Publish Option page.

  3. Click Publish as New Policy.

  4. Specify a name for the policy.

    The policy name must be different from the name of any other item (policy, group, folder, and so forth) that resides in the same folder. The name you provide displays in ZENworks Control Center and the ZENworks Adaptive Agent (on managed devices).

    For more information, see Naming Objects in ZENworks Control Center in the ZENworks 11 ZENworks Control Center Reference.

  5. Specify the folder name or browse to the ZENworks Control Center folder where you want the policy to reside. The default is /Policies, but you can create additional folders to organize your policies.

  6. Select the Create as Sandbox option to enforce the policy as a sandbox version. A sandbox version of a policy enables you to try it in a test environment before actually implementing it on your device

  7. Select the policy groups that the new policy should be a member of.

  8. Click Next to display the Select Assignments page.

  9. Select the device and user assignments that you want to apply to the new policy.

  10. Click Next.

  11. On the Summary Page, review the information and, if necessary, use the Back button to make changes to the information.

  12. Click Finish to create the policy.

4.24.3 Publishing Multiple Sandbox as New Versions

Perform the following steps in the ZENworks Control Center:

  1. Select a few policy folders, policy groups, and policies.

  2. Click Action > Publish Policy(s) to display the Publish Options page.

  3. (Conditional) Select the Include policys from subfolders also option to publish all the policies within the selected folders as new versions of the policies.This option is displayed only if you have selected a policy folder in Step 1.

  4. Click Next. On the Select Policys page, select the policy you want to publish to nextversion, then click Next.

  5. Click Finish to create a new published version.

    For example, if the Displayed Version option on the policy page lists 0(Published), 1(Published), and Sandbox, publishing the sandbox as a new version creates a version 2. The Displayed Version option on the policy page now lists 0(Published), 1(Published), and 2(Published).
