Assign a Stored Policy Version

You can assign the latest finalized version of a policy to specific hosts or to host groups. Assigned policies are automatically deployed and you can monitor their status from the DMS.

Note: This procedure does not apply to login and configuration policies.

To assign a stored policy version

1. In CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management click Policy Management, then Policy subtab, expand the Assignment tree in the task menu on the left, and click Assign Policy.

   The Assign Policy wizard appears at the Policy Selection task stage.

2. Complete the wizard, then click Finish after you read the summary.

   CA ControlMinder submits the policy assignment task. Once a policy is assigned to hosts (directly or through a logical host group membership), CA ControlMinder creates DEPLOYMENT tasks for each host to retrieve.

Note: You can also use the policydeploy utility to perform this task. For more information about the policydeploy utility, see the Reference Guide.
