What Is a Container Policy Package?

A Container Policy Package contains a set of policies that are associated only with containers. These policies are expected to affect the behavior of other ZENworks for Desktops 4 user and workstation policies and are therefore only associated with containers.

ZENworks for Desktops 4 agents work in a standard way to search out policies within a tree, starting at either the User or the Workstation object depending on the application of the policy. Once the User or Workstation object is located, the ZENworks for Desktops 4 agents seek out a Container Policy Package. The first Container Policy Package that is found as the agent is walking up the tree is used to modify the behavior of the search for all other policies. Once the Container Policy Package is discovered, the agents use the information in the package to seek other user or Workstation Policy Packages.
