This policy works in conjunction with the Policy
Proxy Polling Interval policy.
You cannot sp
ecify ports in this policy.
The Encryption client communicates with Policy
Proxies using the GKPORT
specified during client installation (the default is
8000).
Inherited values for this policy accumulate.
For the Encryption client to connect to a Policy
Pr
oxy specified in this policy, it must be in the
same group as the Policy Proxy specified during
client installation.
Because the Shield supports up to 255 users per
endpoint, this policy is available only at the
Enterprise level.
Policy Proxy Polling Interval 360
1-1440 minutes
The interval that the Encryption client attempts to
poll Policy Proxy for policy updates, and send
inventory information to Policy Proxy.
Setting the Policy Proxy Polling Interval below 60
minutes is not recommended, due to potentia
l
degradation of performance.
The Encryption client also attempts to poll Policy
Proxy each time a user logs on.
Force Restart on Policy Updates Selected
If this policy is set to Selected, the Encryption
client will force a computer restart after the
spec
ified delay upon receiving a policy update
requiring a restart. The delay is specified by the
Length of Each Restart Delay
and Number of
Restart Delays Allowed
policies.
If this policy is set to Not Selected, the Encryption
client will neither force nor pr
ompt for a restart.
The policy requiring the restart will take effect the
next time the user restarts their computer.
Length of Each Restart Delay 15
If Force Restart on Policy Updates is set to
Selected, this value is the number of minutes the
user can d
elay the restart before another restart
prompt is displayed.
If
Force Restart on Policy Updates is set to Not
Selected, this policy is ignored.

The Encryption client displays the restart prompt
for five minutes each time. If the user does not
respo
nd to the prompt, the prompt is dismissed
and next delay begins. If the five
-minute timer
expires and no restart delays remain, the
computer restarts immediately.
Tip:
Calculate the maximum possible delay as
follows (a maximum delay would involve the user
responding to each delay prompt immediately
prior to the 5
-minute mark):
(Number of Reboot Delays Allowed x Length of
Each Reboot Delay) + (5 minutes x [Number of
Reboot Delays Allowed + 1]).
Number of Restart Delays Allowed
3
If Force Restart on Policy Update is set to Selected,
this value is the number of times the user can
delay the restart. If this policy is set to "0", the
Encryption client prompts the user to restart
immediately and forces the restart if the user does
not acknowledge the prompt withi
n five minutes.
