Customizing Remote Control › Control Default Values

Control Default Values

You can control the default values of locally managed agent and manager policies in Remote Control.

To control the default value, adjust the value setting for each property in the associated XML file. When adjusting type=int properties, make sure the value falls between the Min and Max settings.

Example: Enable Fail Safe Security in Managed Mode

Remote Control can connect to agents if the management server goes offline. By default, this value is set to provide optimum security. To permit help desk technicians to connect to a host when the management server goes offline, adjust the enablefailsafe parameter value to 1 (True) in the rcHostConfig.xml file.

The following are the default values for stand-alone agents:
