Deleting Policies, Policy Groups, And Folders - Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.2 IR2 - ADMINISTRATION GUIDE 09-25-2008 Administration Manual

The copy option is useful to create a new policy that is similar to an existing policy. You
can copy a policy and then edit the new policy's settings.
Only policy settings are copied; policy groups and assignments are not copied.
Move: Click Move, select a destination folder for the selected objects, then click OK.
If you rename or move a policy, its assignments are still in place. ZENworks Linux
Management does not reapply the policy to devices because of the name or location change.
17.12 Deleting Policies, Policy Groups, and
Folders
Before you delete policies, policy groups, and folders from the ZENworks Control Center, review
the following information to ensure that you obtain the desired results.
Deleting Policies: Depending on your needs, you can delete a policy from your ZENworks Linux
Management system or remove a policy's assignments from devices.
If you delete a policy from your ZENworks Linux Management system, the policy does not display
on the Policies or Devices pages in the ZENworks Control Center. When a policy is deleted, it is
unassigned and unenforced from the device with which it was assigned. For more information, see
Section 17.13, "Unenforcing Policies," on page
Deleting Policy Groups: The results of deleting a policy group is similar to that of deleting a
policy.
If you delete a policy group from your ZENworks Linux Management system, the policy group does
not display on the Policies page in the ZENworks Control Center and the policy group's assignments
are removed. However, the individual policies contained in the group are not removed from the
ZENworks Control Center and still display on the Policies page.
When a policy group is deleted, its member policies are not deleted, but the associations are
removed. The policies of a policy group are unenforced from the devices to which the policy group
was associated. For more information, see
Deleting Folders: If you delete a folder that contains policies from your ZENworks Linux
Management system, both the folder and its policies are removed from the ZENworks Control
Center. The policies contained in the folder are unenforced from the device to which they were
assigned. For more information, see
To delete a policy, policy group, or folder:
