Summary
Because the settings defined in each policy will overwrite the settings in the product itself (e.g. real-time scan settings), test new policies on a few samples first before deploying to the actual environment.
Details
To test new policies:
- Set the Targets to None (Draft only).
- After setting the Targets, configure the policy setting under Settings. Follow the steps in this KB article: Managing policy settings before deployment in Control Manager (TMCM).
- Select Specify Targets and go to the Browse tab.
- Choose the domain/location of the product on the left-hand section.
- Tick the checkbox beside the product to select it. Trend Micro recommends deploying the policies to test products first.
- After selecting the products, click Add Selected Targets.
- Click OK.
- Monitor the settings deployed to the test products.
If you have deployed the policies to test products and want to apply the same policy to other products, do the following: - Option 1: Update the targets of the same policy so that they apply to other products, and click Deploy. This will redeploy the policy and the TMCM server will detect new targets.
- Option 2: Create the same policy but with different targets, which would be other products.
