Administrator Guide

After you configure the policy settings, thin clients are notified about the changes. Changes take effect immediately after
configuring the thin clients.
NOTE: Certain settings, such as BIOS configuration for Windows Embedded Standard require a restart for the changes
to take effect. However, most of the settings on ThinLinux and ThinOS, you must restart the device for changes to take
effect.
The policies are enforced in the following precedence:
● Global
● Group
● Device
