NightWatchman using Windows group policies
Importing NightWatchman group policies

You can set global policies for NightWatchman using Active Directory Group Policy. A sample template (1Enwm.adm) is provided in the NightWatchman Management Center zip file. This is a standard Group Policy template and is fully editable. Support is provided on a reasonable endeavors basis.

Note

Settings configured using Group Policy takes precedence over configuration options set at installation time.

The NightWatchman template can be imported for a particular domain. To do this:

  1. In the Active Directory Users and Computers console, right-click the domain.
