Important considerations
Configuring and verifying
Before deploying the Nomad Health Policy you need to be familiar with its contents and comfortable that you want to apply it to the devices in your network.
By default, automated fixes in the Policies provided by 1E are not enabled, this means you will have to specifically enable the ones you want to use before they can take effect.
A new or updated Policy should first be verified by deploying it to a Management Group containing a small number of devices, reviewing the Guaranteed State reports, and confirming the checks and enabled fixes are working as expected. When you are comfortable with the results you can then deploy to larger Management Groups.
Please review the following specific considerations before verifying and deploying:
Rule | Considerations |
---|---|
Check rule: Ensure Nomad does not have its content indexed by ConfigMgr software inventory checks | Disable this check rule if the Nomad cache location has been changed from the default C:\ProgramData\1E\NomadBranch. The corresponding fix rule is disabled by default. |
Deploying
Target the Policy at separate Management Groups for Distribution Points and Nomad clients, containing only Windows devices.
If you have deployed your Nomad clients with different baseline settings then consider creating different Management Groups for them, so that it will be easier to identify the potental differences in compliance. Target all clients to begin with and then target different groups as required.
This policy is intended for deployment to Windows devices only, so in a cross-platform estate it is advisable to deploy this policy to a Management Group that is scoped to Windows devices. If you do target non-Windows devices then preconditions for the rules ensure those devices are unaffected and rules are reported as Not Applicable.
