Client System Settings

The Client System Settings are common settings for standard Windows endpoint systems ranging from allowing installation of drivers to printers. These settings are deployed to Agents the same as any Policy.

By default each setting targets the default "Windows Computers" Computer Group.

Changes to client system settings do not take effect until Policies have been cached and deployed to the agent. Review the agent status reports to see which agents have which Policies.
