17.8 Editing System Requirements
The purpose of the system requirements is to limit some policies to run on devices that have the
necessary requirements to enforce the policy. When more than one GConf-based policy of the same
type is assigned, the first policy that meets the requirements is enforced on managed devices. All
effective Remote Execute and Text File policies are enforced on managed devices.
You can specify the system requirements by defining certain conditions, called filters. You can set
up simple system requirements that contain only one filter, or you can set up complex system
requirements containing multiple filters or groups of filters. If you set up system requirements using
more than one filter, you must also specify the logical relationship between the filters.
To set up a filter:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.
2 Select a policy for which you want to edit the system requirements.
3 Click the Details tab.
4 In the Combine Filters Using field, select AND or OR.
