Software defaults

Software default settings for all applications of the same type can be defined centrally or on OU-level. Software default settings are available for

We recommend to apply the default settings at top level (root applications) to use inheritance across all OUs. If you still need different software default settings, you need to disable inheritance for the relevant OUs.

Defining software defaults

  1. In the tree view, for the relevant OU, open the Applications context menu and click Software defaults...

    If inheritance is enabled, you can only open and modify the Software defaults... of the top-level instance or parent instance. By default, this is the top-level instance.

  2. In the list-field, select the relevant software and click Edit.

  3. Edit the relevant options on the tabs and confirm with OK.

The software defaults are applied to all applications of subordinate OUs, provided, on the OU's Applications context menu, the Use parent defaults option is selected. This is the default.

Disabling inheritance of software defaults

  1. In the tree view, for the relevant OU, open the Applications context menu.

  2. Disable the Use parent defaults option.

The parent software defaults are saved for the OU.1 On this basis, from now on, you may configure the settings individually.
