8. The Deploy Policy panel appears.
The options available on the panel depend on the type of network quarantine
you are using and whether you are storing your policies on an Active Directory
server or on a Web server. Make the appropriate selections, then click Finish.
You have completed the process for updating the network quarantine version stored
on your Web server or Active Directory server.
Using nq-set to Update Network Quarantine Versions
When you perform software updates inside the virtual machine, use the nq-set
command to update the network quarantine version for the virtual machine. The
version number is used to determine which network quarantine policies to apply to
the virtual machine if you are using either version-based network quarantine or
custom network quarantine.
The nq-set command must be run from within the guest operating system. It is
available in the guest operating system after you install the version of VMware Tools
provided with VMware ACE Manager.
Note: In this release, you must run the nq-set command in the guest operating
system while the virtual machine is running in preview mode or while it is running in
VMware ACE on the end user’s computer. It does not take effect if you simply run the
virtual machine by powering it on within VMware ACE Manager.
Windows guest: The command is
C:\Program Files\vmware\vmware tools\vmwareservice -cmd
"nq-set [-n] [new descriptor]"
Enter the entire command on a single line.
Linux guest: The command is
/usr/sbin/vmware-guestd --cmd "nq-set [-n] [new
descriptor]"
