Removing offline Security Settings
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 Security Settings and enforce regular Security Settings on specific lower-level groups of client computers. To enforce regular Security Settings, offline Security Settings must be removed. The console allows you to remove only individual Security Settings one by one.
To remove offline Security Settings
1. If using DeviceLock Service Settings Editor, do the following:
a) Open DeviceLock Service Settings Editor.
b) In the console tree, right-click DeviceLock Settings or DeviceLock Service, and then click Load Service Settings to open the DeviceLock Service settings file with defined offline DeviceLock policies.
c) 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, select Security Settings.
When you select Security Settings in the console tree, they are displayed in the details pane.
4. In the details pane, right-click the Security Setting to remove, and then click Remove Offline.
The Security Setting changes its offline state to “Use Regular.”
The “Use Regular” state of DeviceLock Service settings is displayed as “Not Configured” in DeviceLock Management Console.
