Adding Host Integrity requirements

A Host Integrity policy sets the requirements for firewalls, antivirus, antispyware, patches, service packs, or other required applications on client computers.

Each Host Integrity policy includes requirements and general settings. The requirements specify the following items:

  • What conditions to check

  • What actions (such as downloads and installs) the client takes in response to the condition

When you specify Host Integrity requirements, you can choose from the following types: predefined, custom, or template requirements. Template requirements are available through the Host Integrity policy LiveUpdate service. You can copy and paste and export and import requirements between policies.

General settings enable you to configure when and how often the client runs a Host Integrity check, remediation options, and notifications.

You can create a new shared or non-shared Host Integrity policy. After you create a new policy, you can add a predefined requirement, a custom requirement, or both.

See About Host Integrity requirements.

To add a Host Integrity requirement

  1. In the console, open a Host Integrity policy.

  2. On the Host Integrity Policy page, click Requirements.

  3. On the Requirements page, select when the Host Integrity checks should run on the client from one of the following options:

    Always do Host Integrity checking

    This choice is the default. A Host Integrity check is always performed in this location at the frequency interval you specify.

    Only do Host Integrity checking through the Gateway Enforcer

    A Host Integrity check is performed in this location only when the client is authenticated through a Gateway Enforcer.

    Only do Host Integrity checking when connected to the management server

    A Host Integrity check is performed in this location only when the client is connected to a management server.

    Never do Host Integrity checking

    A Host Integrity check is never performed in this location.

  4. Click Add.

  5. In the Add Requirement dialog box, select one of the requirement types, and then click OK.

  6. Configure the settings for the requirement.
