or change the policies applied to the virtual machines. For details, see Creating
Projects on page 43.
You can update most polices by distributing a package that contains the new
policies. However, you should note the following exceptions:
• Reimage virtual machine — You may change this setting at any time, but the
change affects only virtual machines that are installed or reinstalled after you
make the change. If you distribute a package that contains only policies,
changes to this policy have no effect on virtual machines that are already
installed. The end user sees no error message, but the updated policy is not
applied.
• Encryption and authentication — You may change these settings at any time,
but the change can be applied only if you include the virtual machine in the
package. You should not distribute a policy-only package that includes
changes to encryption and authentication policies. Package installation will
fail for the affected virtual machine.
• Recovery key (Project > Settings) — Recovery key changes are not supported
in upgrades to existing projects.
2. If you are using virtual machine versions for network quarantine, be sure to set
the correct version number when you apply network quarantine policies to the
virtual machine. For details, see Updating Network Quarantine Versions on
page 142.
3. Create the package as described in Creating Packages to Deploy to Users on
page 131.
Note: All packages installed on an end user’s computer must come from the same
VMware ACE Manager project.
Updating Network Quarantine Versions
If you are using network quarantine versions to control virtual machine access to your
network, be sure to update the version numbers when you make changes to the
virtual machine.
Changing the version is a two-part process.
• Use the policy editor to update the version and store the new settings on the
Web server or Active Directory server where you store policy settings.
• Run the nq-set command in your copy of the virtual machine so the correct
version number is included when you create new packages. For details, see
Using nq-set to Update Network Quarantine Versions on page 146.
