policydeploy -reset Function—Reset Policy Deployment

This function resets policy deployment on the endpoint. CA ControlMinder undeploys all the effective policies on the endpoint, deletes all advanced policy management properties, and resets host status.

This function has the following format:

policydeploy -reset hnode_name [-dms list]

-dms list

(Optional) Specifies a comma-separated list of DMS nodes to use. When you deploy or undeploy a policy, these are the DMS nodes to which the action is reported. When you store a policy, these are the DMS nodes where the policy is stored.

If you do not specify DMS nodes with this option, the utility uses the list of DMS nodes specified in the local CA ControlMinder database. To specify a list of DMS nodes in the database, you need to issue the following selang command after you create a new DMS using dmsmgr:

so dms+(new_dms_name)

Note: You need to issue the same command if you did not specify the DMS node during installation, or if you want to replace or add the registered DMS on the endpoint. However, when you specify to create an advanced policy management server during installation, the DMS is added to the database and you do not need to manually run the above command.

-reset hnode_name

Resets policy deployment on the specified endpoint.
