2.4.2. Creating a New Policy
The 'Create Policy' wizard enables administrators to create new security policies and to apply them to groups of target
computers. The new policies can be created by:
• Importing the local security settings from a computer
• Using another, pre-existing, policy as a base
• Importing from a saved .xml file
Policies can be created according to the security requirements of different groups of computers which are in turn, created
according to the requirements of the organization. So it is recommended to first create groups and then to create policies, so
that the policies can be applied to the groups as required.
It is also recommended to retain the group 'Unassigned' with the 'Locally Configured' policy until all the computers have been
imported into ESM, so that ESM will not overwrite the policy on new discovered computers once the agent is installed in it.
