Import Policies Dialog Box

  • Article

Use this dialog box to import one or more policies (and their referenced condition) that are saved as XML files, into the current SQL Server Database Engine instance.

Options

Files to import
To import a policy from an XML file, type the path and name of the file or use the Browse (...) button.

Replace duplicates with items imported
Select to overwrite any existing policy or condition of the same name if it already exists on this Database Engine instance. A condition with a dependent policy cannot be overwritten unless the dependent policy is also being overwritten. If this option is not selected, an existing condition that is using the same condition expression will not cause an error.

Policy state
Select the state that you want for the imported policy:

  • Preserve policy state on import

  • Enable all policies on import

  • Disable all policies on import
