Computer-specific policy customizations

A Computer Specific Policy Adaptation (CPA) is technically a centrally stored policy that only contains settings for a single computer. However, unlike normal centrally stored policies, they are not assigned individually, but through a single policy assignment, the computer specific policy customization.

• By default, this assignment is created by the name Default MachineConfig Assignment. It provides the CPA associated with each computer.

• CPAs are used, for example, for computer-specific BitLocker password settings. A CPA is automatically created as needed.

• CPAs are managed/displayed separately from other policies in their own node.

• CPAs also work if the DriveLock Agent is not configured to use centrally stored policies. In this case, the agent requires a configured server connection.
