Defining manageable settings, Defining, Manageable – Lenovo THINKPAD Z60M User Manual
Page 112: Settings
Settings
defined
by
an
administrator
on
the
server
are
defined
as
policies.
Settings
defined
by
a
user
on
the
client
computer
for
an
application
are
defined
as
preferences.
As
defined
by
Microsoft,
policy
settings
take
precedence
over
preferences.
For
example,
a
user
may
put
a
background
image
on
his
desktop.
This
is
the
user’s
preference
setting.
An
administrator
may
define
a
setting
on
the
server
that
dictates
that
a
user
must
use
a
specific
background
image.
The
administrators
policy
setting
will
override
the
preference
set
by
the
user.
When
a
ThinkVantage
Technology
product
checks
for
a
setting,
it
will
look
for
the
setting
in
the
following
order:
v
Computer
policies
v
User
policies
v
Default
user
policies
v
Computer
preferences
v
User
preferences
v
Default
user
preferences
As
described
previously,
computer
and
user
policies
are
defined
by
the
administrator.
These
settings
can
be
initialized
through
the
XML
configuration
file
or
through
a
Group
Policy
in
the
Active
Directory.
Computer
and
user
preferences
are
set
by
the
user
on
the
client
computer
through
options
in
the
applications
interface.
Default
user
preferences
are
initialized
by
the
XML
configuration
script.
Users
do
not
change
the
values
directly.
Changes
made
to
these
settings
by
a
user
will
be
updated
in
the
user
preferences.
Customers
not
using
Active
Directory
can
create
a
default
set
of
policy
settings
to
be
deployed
to
client
systems.
Administrators
can
modify
XML
configuration
scripts
and
specify
that
they
be
processed
during
the
installation
of
the
product.
