17.9 Refreshing Policies
If you assign a new policy to a device or update a policy, you can ensure that the policy is updated
on managed devices by refreshing the policies. Each device periodically refreshes its settings. It is
not necessary to manually refresh each device after updating a policy. To ensure that the updated
policy is immediately pulled down, you can manually refresh the device using the following
methods:
In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Devices tab, select the appropriate device, click
Actions, then click Refresh Device.
On a managed device, start a console session and execute the rug refresh command.
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES 10) or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED
10) managed devices:
/usr/bin/rug refresh
On other managed devices:
/opt/novell/zenworks/bin/rug refresh
Performing either action results in the managed device refreshing its policies and other settings. A
newly assigned or updated policy is delivered to the device and is applied according to its schedule.
17.10 Verifying Policy Enforcement
ZENworks Linux Management lets you verify the enforcement of a policy after it has been assigned
to a device or updated and the device has been refreshed (either manually or automatically by
ZENworks). After a policy has been enforced, a message is logged indicating the success or failure
of the policy enforcement. These messages can be seen in the Event log of the device on which the
policy was applied or can be seen in the Event log of the policy that was applied.
To verify the enforcement of the GConf-based policies, you need to re-login to the assigned device.
You can then start the application and verify that the policy has been enforced correctly.
