Requesting and Accessing Policy

The policy system is accessible and configurable through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. For more information, see Policy Agent Client WMI Classes. It is also possible to make assignment requests and policy evaluation programmatically.

Policy content on the management point can be displayed as a Web page that is accessible through a URL. The URL format is as follows.

Syntax

http://<MP_Machine_Name>/sms_mp/.sms_pol?<PolicyID>.<PolicyVersion>

Remarks

MP_Machine_Name is the NetBIOS name of the management point or "localhost" if viewing the policy locally on the management point.

PolicyID is the ID of the policy.

PolicyVersion is the version of the policy formatted as MajorVersion_MinorVersion (for example, 2.00 is represented as 2_00).

Note

URL retrieval only works for mixed mode policies that do not contain sensitive data.

Processing Policy on the client

Default Policy Settings

The default agent policy settings at install, and before the management point has been contacted, are set in a specific user and machine namespace.

Syntax

\\root\ccm\policy\defaultmachine\requestedconfig
\\root\ccm\policy\defaultuser\requestedconfig

Requested Configuration Settings

When the management point has been contacted, the management point and local policy setting are placed in a requested configuration namespace.

Syntax

\\root\ccm\policy\machine\requestedconfig
\\root\ccm\policy\<USERSID>\requestedconfig
\\root\ccm\policy\defaultuser\requestedconfig

Actual Configuration Settings

The Policy Agent takes the default and requested instances and places resultant instances in:

Syntax

\\root\ccm\policy\machine\actualconfig
\\root\ccm\policy\<USERSID>\actualconfig

Remarks

The Policy Agent is responsible for resolving any conflicts between the management point and local policy settings.
