Two questiosn:

1. What is the functional or operational difference between assigning a Centralized Exception Policy to the "My Computer" or the "Default" group?

2. Can different Centrtalized Policies be assigned to specific groups? It seems not possible. I noticed I cannot assign the Centralized Policy to any sub groups if I don't assign it to the "My Company" group, and when I assign it to the "My Company" group, I cannot unassign it from other sub groups?? For example, I want to assign the policy only to the "Location 1 - 32 bit Virtual clients" group, but can't when the "My Company" group is NOT selected, but when "My Company" is selected, I cannot remove the assignment from the "32 bit physical clients" group. If I select ONLY the "Default Group", the "Default" groups under every named group ("Location 1", etc) are checked, but the group name ("Location 1" or "32 bit physical clients") are NOT checked.

Using SEP Manager and clients 11.0.6300.803.

I am thinking that I would like to assign different policies to different locations and sub groups, but that appears to not be possible.

Example Assignment Client Tree looks like this:

My Company

    Default Group

    Company Name

         Default

         Location 1

               Default

               32 bit physical clients

                       Default

               32 bit virtual clients

                       Default

         Location 2

               Default

               32 bit physical clients

                        Default

               32 bit virtual clients

                         Default

Thank you for any help you can offer!

Hello? Is anybody..............outthere....

Just nod if you can hear me- :)

I've moved your question to the SEV forum - hopefully someone there will have a solution for you!

Good Luck!

Its not like that; you can assign to any group you like

if its grayed out that means the policy is inherited from the top order; thats y those options are grayed out. as applying to 1 will apply to all.

if you want to assign to individual groups then u need to uncheck inheritance.

open

sepm

clients

on the right hand side; click on policies - uncheck inheritance; now u will get the option to appply it wil be enabled.

Only one policy to one group...

1. My Company and Default are simply 2 groups and Default is sub group of "my company" group. If you assign any policy to My COmpany it will automatically get assigned to Default group.If the Default group is inheriting policy from My company..which is it by default settings and all the policies are shared so it will same for all groups unless you create a new policy and assgin ti to the groups.

2. In the Clients tab go to Policy Tab for each group and uncheck Inherit policy from parent group. Once this is done go to Policies tab create a policy and assign it to the group/s you want.
