Policies allow you to remotely automate common management tasks on managed computers. Using a policy, you can run scripts, manage accounts, and distribute software. When you create a policy, you specify the tasks you want to automate, how often it should run (“execution frequency”), when the policy should run (“trigger”), and the users and computers for which it should run (“scope”). You can also make policies available in Self Service for users to run on their computers as needed.
Note:
Removing a target from the scope of a policy does not remove the settings applied by the policy if it has already run on the computer.
