Installing security policies on managed units

Install a security policy on a manage unit.

1. Click Setup > Tools and Views > Policy Installation to open Currently Installed Policies and the Policy Installer.
2. From the Policy list, select the policy that you want to install.
3. From the list, select an installation action. After you select an installation action, you are informed of the success (or failure) of each policy installation. If a selected unit is not available (it might be offline or a link might be down), the Central Manager informs you of that fact. It continues attempting to install the new policy for a maximum of seven days (on the condition that unit remains registered for central management).
4. From the Policy list, select the policy that you want to install.
5. The available installation actions include the following items:
   1. Install and Override - delete all installed policies and install the selected one instead
   2. Install last - installing the selected policy as the last one in the sequence; installing the policy after all currently installed policies and having the lowest priority
   3. Install first - installing the selected policy as the first one in the sequence; installing the policy before all currently installed policies.
   Note: If you install a policy from the Central Manager, the selection of Run Once Now (and scheduler) updates existing groups within the installed policies.

   To load changes to rules, including addition and subtraction of groups, you must either:

   1. Initially install policies from the Collector, or
   2. Reinstall policies from the Collector or Central Manager.
