There are two types of group policies:
Default policies will affect all monitored computers, changing all settings that are
configured in the policy that don’t conflict with other policy.
Explicit policies only affects computers that are part of the group. Explicit policies
have priority over the default so that if an explicit policy has a setting configured the
default policy will not be checked for that setting.
Adding a Group Policy
In order to add a Group Policy you must decide if you would like to affect all computers or
only a specific group. After you select the group from the Manage Group Policies window
you can choose to create a policy or to update if it already exists.
A policy setting has three states:
Checked
Unchecked
Undecided
If a setting is Checked or Unchecked will be propagated to computers thus overwriting its
value.
Leaving a setting as Undecided will not propagate any changes to the computer and the
existing value on computers will remain untouched.
Note: Group policy changes are not reflected in the Pulseway Manager. The Manager only
allows you to edit the local configuration; at runtime, in the Pulseway service, group
policy settings will take priority over local configuration.
