OpenText Configuration Management lets you use policies to create a set of configurations that can be assigned to any number of managed devices. It helps you to provide the devices with a uniform configuration, and it eliminates the need to configure each device separately.
The following section contains the list of Windows Configuration policies that can be created and assigned to a managed device.
Local File Rights Policy: Configures rights for files or folders that exist on the NTFS file systems.
The policy can be used to configure basic and advanced permissions for both local and domain groups. It provides the ability for an administrator to create custom groups on managed devices.
Power Management Policy: Configures Power Management settings on the managed devices.
Printer Policy: Configures Local, SMB, HTTP, TCP/IP, CUPS, and iPrint printers for Windows devices
Endpoint Agent Configuration Policy: Allows you to administer and centrally manage the behavior and features of Application Explorer.
