When do changes to ePO policy take effect?

Changes to ePO policy take effect at the next agent-server communication (ASCI). This is because ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) manages device policies and configurations centrally. Once a policy is created or modified in the ePO console, the changes are not applied to client systems instantly. Instead, the clients communicate with the ePO server at specified intervals, often during scheduled communication events. This process ensures that the clients can receive new policy settings and updates efficiently.

Immediate application of policy changes would cause inconsistencies across devices, as they might not all be able to sync with the server at the same time. The other options do not align with the functioning of the ePO system; for instance, changes do not require a system reboot, nor do they apply at arbitrary times such as the end of the month. This communication model helps maintain order and coherence in how policies are applied across a network of devices.
