Administrator Guide

If a policy conguration has to be prioritized between the dierent levels, then the lowest-level policy takes precedence.

After you congure the policy settings, thin clients are notied about the changes. Changes take eect immediately after conguring the

thin clients.

NOTE: Certain settings, such as BIOS conguration for Windows Embedded Standard require a restart for the changes to take

eect. However, most of the settings on ThinLinux and ThinOS, you must restart the device for changes to take eect.

The policies are enforced in the following precedence:

• Global

• Group

• Device
