Policy Behavior for clients in Unassigned group?

Lestat

I am running Sophos Enterprise Console 4.0.0.2362

If a client belongs to the "Unassigned" group in the Enterprise Console, which Policies are applied to it?  The "Default" policies?  Or something else?

What if I take a client from a Group that has policies defined and move it into the "Unassigned" group?  What settings will the client then have?  Does it keep the policy settings from it's original Group or does it "forget" them since it now belongs to the "Unassigned" group?

    Hello Lestat,

    The clients don't "find" themselves in a console group (although they can - at least on Windows - "request" to be put into a specific one). If a computer is deleted from SEC the client is not notified. Basically delete just sets a flag in SEC to make it "invisible" and both client and SEC keep their information. So if the "same" (there are some slightly complex rules) client later contacts SEC it "reappears".

    OTOH - if you uninstall SAV on the client it is not deleted from SEC.   

    A linux client appears to "forget" its configured update location

    Right - just checked (not that I did doubt your words). Time for a support request I'd say (and as you have found it I leave it to you :smileywink:)
