Enabling the Management Server to be an Endpoint Policy Server

Configure if the Endpoint Security Management Server behaves as an Endpoint Policy Server along with the other Endpoint Policy Servers.

The default is that the Endpoint Security Management Server does behave as an Endpoint Policy Server.

Note - If you do not explicitly enable the Endpoint Security Management Server to behave as an Endpoint Policy Server, it is still in the proximity analysis list. If no other Endpoint Policy Servers can reply to a client, the Endpoint Security Management Server replies.

To configure the Endpoint Security Management Server to behave as an Endpoint Policy Server only if all Endpoint Policy Servers do not respond:

1. In SmartEndpoint, select Manage > General Properties > Connection Settings.
2. Clear Enable Endpoint Management Server to be Endpoint Policy Server.
3. Click OK.
4. Select File > Install Policies or click the Install Policies icon.
