Deployment Map Server (DMS)

The DMS sits at the core of advanced policy management. The purpose of the DMS is to keep up-to-date information on policies (policy versions, scripts) and policy deployment status on each computer. The DMS stores versions of your policies that you can later assign, unassign, deploy, and undeploy as required.

A DMS is a Policy Model node and it uses a PMDB as its data repository. It collects the data it receives from notifications from each endpoint it is configured for and stores deployment information for each of these endpoints.
