As described previously, computer and user policies are defined by the
administrator. These settings can be initialized through the XML configuration file
or through a Group Policy in the Active Directory. Computer and user preferences
are set by the user on the client computer through options in the applications
interface. Default user preferences are initialized by the XML configuration script.
Users do not change the values directly. Changes made to these settings by a user
will be updated in the user preferences.
Customers not using Active Directory can create a default set of policy settings to
be deployed to client systems. Administrators can modify XML configuration
scripts and specify that they be processed during the installation of the product.
Notes:
1. All schedule related settings are now set to delay for 1 hour, which means they
will work one hour after it is set.
2. Do not launch the Rescue and Recovery program when configuring ADM
settings using Group Policy.
Defining manageable settings
The following example shows settings in the Group Policy editor using the
following hierarchy:
Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>ThinkVantage>
Rescue and Recovery>User Interface>Menus>Backup Menu
The ADM files indicate where in the registry the settings will be reflected. These
settings will be in the following registry locations:
