Removing offline Content-Aware Rules
To facilitate deployment of DeviceLock policies using Group Policy or DeviceLock Service settings files (.dls), DeviceLock provides the ability to block the inheritance of higher-level offline Content-Aware Rules and enforce regular Content-Aware Rules on specific lower-level groups of client computers. To enforce regular Content-Aware Rules, offline Content-Aware Rules must be removed.
To remove offline Content-Aware Rules
1. If using DeviceLock Service Settings Editor, do the following:
a) Open DeviceLock Service Settings Editor.
b) In the console tree, expand DeviceLock Service.
If using DeviceLock Group Policy Manager, do the following:
a) Open Group Policy Object Editor.
b) In the console tree, expand Computer Configuration, and then expand DeviceLock.
2. Expand Protocols.
3. Under Protocols, right-click Content-Aware Rules, and then click Remove Offline.
The offline state of Content-Aware Rules changes to “Use Regular.”
When you select Content-Aware Rules in the console tree, in the details pane the following message is displayed: “Offline Content-Aware Rules are configured to use Regular Content-Aware Rules.”
The “Use Regular” state of DeviceLock Service settings is displayed as “Not Configured” in DeviceLock Management Console.
