Updated: January 1, 2011
Applies To: Forefront Endpoint Protection
You can save the settings of a Forefront Endpoint Protection policy by exporting the policy. Exporting the policy saves the settings of the policy in an XML file. You export policies for the following reasons:
-
To back up policies
-
To transfer policies from one Configuration Manager site to another
-
To apply or update policies on computers that are not managed by Configuration Manager
Exporting a policy
-
In the Configuration Manager console, expand System Center Configuration Manager, expand Site Database, expand Computer Management, expand Forefront Endpoint Protection, and then click Policies.
-
Select the policy to be exported.
-
In the Actions pane, click Export Policy.
-
Browse to the folder in which you want to save the policy file, enter a name for the XML file, click OK, and then click OK on the confirmation dialog box.
Note: If you select multiple polices to be exported, you will only be prompted to select a folder in which to save the polices. The policies will be exported using their existing names. Note: The Default Server Policy and Default Desktop Policy cannot be exported.
