You can specify whether the management server pushes the policy down to the clients or that the clients pull the policy from the management server. The default setting is Push mode. If you select Pull mode, then by default, clients connect to the management server every 5 minutes, but you can change this default heartbeat interval.
See How the client computers get policy updates.
See Performing tasks that are common to all security policies.
You can set the mode for a group or for a location.
