Can someone please assist with how to switch between policy distribution models?

I am trying to prepare for the EPM-W lab assessment, and one of the items states: Explain how to switch between the policy distribution models.

I have searched my notes from the training, the BeyondTrust Knowledge Base, support documentation, and all online resources I could find, including this forum, but I have not found any information on how to switch between the different policy distribution models.

Can someone provide information on how that would be done or where I can locate specific information on this?

Thank you in advance.

Hello ​@Angela, you can modify the policy distribution method of an endpoint by modifying the registry, in particular the ‘PolicyEnabled’ value; please find further details below:


Deploy EPM policy

Certain types of deployment methods may be enabled or disabled. By default, all deployment types are enabled. To include or exclude a method of deployment from evaluation, edit the entries in the registry value below. If this key does not already exist, then the default behavior is to include all methods:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Avecto\Privilege Guard Client

 

REG_SZ PolicyEnabled = "EPO,WEBSERVER,GPO,LOCAL"

 

Where EPO,WEBSERVER,GPO,LOCAL are the available deployment methods.

 

Registry settings may be deployed using Advanced Agent Settings. To apply a configuration deployment method, the setting must be applied to a type of configuration that is already part of the configuration precedence order.
