Selecting an alternate PowerShell script on a policy

If you need to select a different PowerShell script for Adaptable Application applications, do so at the policy but it is very important to understand the impact of changing the script assignment. After selecting an alternate PowerShell script from the Adaptable Application policy settings page, any changes to the field definitions will then appear in Policy Tree. However, any Adaptable Application data that has been previously entered on child policies or Adaptable Application objects will remain unchanged and may not be applicable to the current PowerShell script.

BEST PRACTICE  You should assign your PowerShell script to policies that are as low down in the Policy tree as possible to allow you to make use of multiple Adaptable Application solutions and also to avoid inheritance issues with extra fields that are likely to occur if your PowerShell scripts are ever changed. If you set it at the top of the tree, then you are essentially committing to use only one Adaptable Application solution in your environment.

For more information and best practices related to working with policies, see How policies work.

You can also verify that your new PowerShell script is being referenced by looking at the read-only PowerShell Script field on an Adaptable Application application object. The PowerShell Script setting on the policy is always locked.

To use an alternate PowerShell script on a policy

  1. From the TLS Protect menu bar, click Policy Tree.
  2. In the Policy tree, click the policy object where you want to assign an alternate PowerShell script.
  3. On the policy page, click the Applications tab, and then click Adaptable.
  4. Under Adaptable Settings, click the PowerShell Script drop-down list and select the script you want to use.

  5. (Optional) If you want to modify the General, Application Information, and Validation settings at the policy level, do so now.

    For details about these settings, see Configuring an Adaptable Application object.

  6. Click Save.
