Attaching an Application Configuration to a server or device group

After you have created an Application Configuration, added all the necessary configuration templates and scripts and edited its default values, you must attach it to a server or public device group. Once you attach an Application Configuration to a server or group of servers, you must push the application configuration to the servers as described in Pushing Application Configurations.

  • The customer setting of the folder containing the application configuration must include the customer setting of the managed servers where you intend to push the application configuration. For more information on folder settings, see “Folder Permissions” in the SA Administering. For more information about servers and customers, “Customer Accounts” in the Using.
  • You can only attach Application Configurations to individual servers or to public device groups. You cannot attach them to private device groups.
