Adding an endpoint profile

A default endpoint profile is automatically installed on the endpoint client. It is applied to all endpoint clients that have not been assigned another profile. The default profile cannot be deleted, but parts of it can be edited.

Define additional profiles, as needed.

  • To create a new profile, click New in the toolbar at the top of the Endpoint page.
  • To edit an existing profile, click a profile Name in the Endpoint Profile List.

The endpoint profile wizard opens to its General tab.

  1. Enter a Name and Description for the profile.
  2. Select or clear Enabled to enable or disable the profile in the endpoint profile list. If the profile is disabled, it is not deployed to any endpoint hosts.
  3. By default, the profile is applied to all endpoints. To include or exclude specific endpoints in the profile, click Edit.
  4. Select an endpoint category from the Display drop-down list. The Available List updates to show available endpoints in that category.
    Note: When Directory Entries are selected, the Available List changes to show the default user directory location and the endpoints within it. With Active Directory, the Filter by field changes to a Find field.
  5. To filter the available endpoints, enter text in the Filter by or Find field.
    • Click the Apply filter (funnel) icon to enable the filter.
    • Click the Clear filter (X) icon to remove the current filter.

    Wildcards are supported: a question mark (?) to represent a single character, and an asterisk (*) for multiple characters. If there are too many items to fit on the screen, browse the list using the Next, Previous, First, and Last buttons.

  6. To include a specific endpoint in this profile:
    1. In the Selected List, select the Include tab.
    2. In the Available List, select the endpoint.
      Tip:

      Use the Shift or Ctrl key to select multiple endpoint hosts.

      A maximum of 1500 elements (Include and Exclude) can be added. Use AD Groups or business units to add more endpoints to the profile.

    3. Click > to move the endpoint into the Selected List.
  7. Click OK.
  8. To exclude a specific endpoint in this endpoint profile:
    1. In the Selected List, select the Exclude tab.
    2. In the Available List, select the endpoint.
    3. Click > to move the endpoint into the Selected List.
  9. Click OK.
