Testing Content Groups
It is possible to test any built-in or custom content group by checking to see whether specified files match with it. These tests can be used to verify that the rules that are created based on the content groups meet a specific business requirement.
To test a content group
1. If using the DeviceLock Management Console, do the following:
a) Open DeviceLock Management Console and connect it to the computer running DeviceLock Service.
b) In the console tree, expand DeviceLock Service.
If using the DeviceLock Service Settings Editor, do the following:
a) Open DeviceLock Service Settings Editor.
b) In the console tree, expand DeviceLock Service.
If using the 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 either the Devices or Protocols node.
3. Under the Devices or Protocols node, do one of the following:
•Right-click Content-Aware Rules, and then click Manage.
- OR -
•Select
Content-Aware Rules, and then click
Manage 
on the toolbar.
4. In the upper pane of the dialog box that appears, under Content Database, select the content group to test, and then click Test Group.
Only one group can be tested at a time.
5. In the Open dialog box that appears, locate and select a probe file to use for testing the content group, and then click Open.
When testing a Digital Fingerprints group, the DeviceLock Enterprise Server is required to check the fingerprints of the probe file. Therefore, the console displays a dialog box to specify the DeviceLock Enterprise Server that hosts the digital fingerprints database. To continue the test, enter the name of the computer running the DeviceLock Enterprise Server. For details regarding the fingerprinting technique, see
Digital Fingerprints.
The console preserves the server name specified, and uses it during the console session without repeatedly prompting for a server name. In subsequent sessions, the console displays the dialog box again, allowing a different server to be specified. By default, it chooses the server that was used in the previous session.
Once the processing of the probe file has been complete, a message box appears with the test result. If the file meets the conditions of the content group, the message box displays the following message: “Selected file matches with the group.” Otherwise, the following message is displayed: “Selected file does not match with the group.”
Note: While testing is in progress, the console stops responding (hangs). |
