Configuring EasyUpdate with Active Directory

Active Directory is a directory service. The directory is where information about
end users and resources is stored. The directory service allows access so you can
manipulate those resources. Active Directory provides a mechanism that gives
administrators the ability to manage computers, groups, end users, domains,
security policies, and any type of user-defined objects. The mechanism used by
Active Directory to accomplish this is known as Group Policy. With Group Policy,
administrators define settings that can be applied to computers or users in the
domain.
The following examples are settings that Active Directory can manage for
EasyUpdate:
v Scheduler settings
v Mapped Network Drive settings
Administrative (ADM) template files
The Administrative (ADM) template file defines policy settings used by
applications on a client computer. Policies are specific settings that govern the
application behavior. Policy settings also define whether the end user will be
allowed to set specific settings through the application. The ADM file can be
downloaded from the following Lenovo Support Web site:

Settings defined by an administrator on the server are defined as policies. Settings
defined by an end user on the client computer for an application are defined as
preferences. As defined by Microsoft
preferences. When EasyUpdate checks for a setting, it will look for the setting in
the following order:
