DeviceLock Service Settings Editor
DeviceLock Service Settings Editor is used for creating and modifying files with settings, permissions, audit, shadowing rules and alerts for DeviceLock Service (DeviceLock Service settings files).
DeviceLock Service Settings Editor installs together with the other management consoles.
There is almost no difference between the procedures for defining policies via DeviceLock Management Console versus via DeviceLock Service Settings Editor. For more information, see
Managing DeviceLock Service for Windows.
Comparing to DeviceLock Management Console, in the DeviceLock Service Settings Editor you can:
•Manage DeviceLock Service settings without connecting to any computer with DeviceLock Service. DeviceLock Service Settings Editor modifies and stores settings in external files and allows you to create/edit policies offline. It works similar to DeviceLock Group Policy Manager but instead of GPOs it uses settings files.
•Reset any parameter (or all parameters at once) to the undefined state. All undefined parameters are ignored when the policy is applied to DeviceLock Service.
•Remove the ContentLock policy and/or NetworkLock policy from a settings file, which causes the ContentLock and/or NetworkLock settings to be undefined when you apply that file to DeviceLock Service. For an overview of ContentLock and NetworkLock, see
ContentLock and NetworkLock earlier in this document.
•Remove any offline policy settings (permissions, audit, shadowing rules and alerts, white lists, etc.) for both devices and protocols in order to enforce regular ones in this policy file.
