'Specifies which platforms the rule is applicable on. If null, the rule applies to all platforms (the default). Each entry takes the form Major.Minor+, for instance 6.0, 6.1+, or 6.2. If + is specified, then it means that the rule applies to that version or greater. For instance, Windows Vista could be represented as 6 or 6.0, and Windows 7 or later would be represented as 6.1+. + may only be attached to the final item in the list. 6.0+ is not valid because it means the same thing as null (all platforms).'
'If this object is retrieved from the ActiveStore, with the TracePolicyStoreSource option set, contains the path to the PolicyStore where this rule originally came from.'
'If this object is retrieved from the ActiveStore, with the TracePolicyStoreSource option set, describes the type of PolicyStore where this rule originally came from.'
'PrimaryStatus provides a high level status value, intended to align with Red-Yellow-Green type representation of status. It should be used in conjunction with DetailedStatus to provide high level and detailed health status of the ManagedElement and its subcomponents. PrimaryStatus consists of one of the following values: Unknown, OK, Degraded or Error. "Unknown" indicates the implementation is in general capable of returning this property, but is unable to do so at this time. "OK" indicates the ManagedElement is functioning normally. "Degraded" indicates the ManagedElement is functioning below normal. "Error" indicates the ManagedElement is in an Error condition. '
'The locale-independent name for the group that this rule belongs to. If this field is non-null, then Windows Firewall with Advanced Security assumes that this rule belongs to a Windows component or an installed application, and some parts of the rule are protected (including but not limited to the Name, Description, Program, and Service).'
'Indicates whether the list of PolicyConditions associated with this PolicyRule is in disjunctive normal form (DNF), conjunctive normal form (CNF), or has no conditions (i.e., is an UnconditionalRule) and is automatically evaluated to "True." The default value is 1 ("DNF").'
'CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.'
'A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information. Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. Note that if there is an associated instance of CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities, restrictions on this properties may exist as defined in ElementNameMask and MaxElementNameLen properties defined in that class.'
'Indicates whether this PolicySet is administratively enabled, administratively disabled, or enabled for debug. The "EnabledForDebug" property value is deprecated and, when it or any value not understood by the receiver is specified, the receiving enforcement point treats the PolicySet as "Disabled". To determine if a PolicySet is "Enabled", the containment hierarchy specified by the PolicySetComponent aggregation is examined and the Enabled property values of the hierarchy are ANDed together. Thus, for example, everything aggregated by a PolicyGroup may be disabled by setting the Enabled property in the PolicyGroup instance to "Disabled" without changing the Enabled property values of any of the aggregated instances. The default value is 1 ("Enabled").'
'ExecutionStrategy defines the strategy to be used in executing the sequenced actions aggregated by this PolicyRule. There are three execution strategies:
Do Until Success - execute actions according to predefined order, until successful execution of a single action. Do All - execute ALL actions which are part of the modeled set, according to their predefined order. Continue doing this, even if one or more of the actions fails. Do Until Failure - execute actions according to predefined order, until the first failure in execution of an action instance.'
Values
['Do Until Success', 'Do All', 'Do Until Failure']
'InstanceID is an optional property that may be used to opaquely and uniquely identify an instance of this class within the scope of the instantiating Namespace. Various subclasses of this class may override this property to make it required, or a key. Such subclasses may also modify the preferred algorithms for ensuring uniqueness that are defined below. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following "preferred" algorithm: : Where and are separated by a colon (:), and where must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the _ structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between and . is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If not null and the above "preferred" algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance. If not set to null for DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the set to CIM.'
'LimitNegotiation is used as part of processing either a key exchange or IPsec Rule. Before proceeding with either a phase 1 or a phase 2 negotiation, this property is checked to determine if the negotiation role of the Rule matches that defined for the negotiation being undertaken (e.g., Initiator, Responder, or Both). If this check fails, then the negotiation is stopped. Note that this only applies to new negotiations and has no effect on either renegotiation or refresh operations with peers for which an established Security Association already exists.'
'A flag indicating that the evaluation of the Policy Conditions and execution of PolicyActions (if the Conditions evaluate to TRUE) is required. The evaluation of a PolicyRule MUST be attempted if the Mandatory property value is TRUE. If the Mandatory property is FALSE, then the evaluation of the Rule is \'best effort\' and MAY be ignored.'
'PolicyDecisionStrategy defines the evaluation method used for policies contained in the PolicySet. There are two values currently defined: - \'First Matching\' (1) executes the actions of the first rule whose conditions evaluate to TRUE. The concept of \'first\' is determined by examining the priority of the rule within the policy set (i.e., by examining the property, PolicySetComponent.Priority). Note that this ordering property MUST be maintained when processing the PolicyDecisionStrategy. - \'All\' (2) executes the actions of ALL rules whose conditions evaluate to TRUE, in the set. As noted above, the order of processing of the rules is defined by the property, PolicySetComponent.Priority (and within a rule, the ordering of the actions is defined by the property, PolicyActionStructure.ActionOrder). Note that when this strategy is defined, processing MUST be completed of ALL rules whose conditions evaluate to TRUE, regardless of errors in the execution of the rule actions.'
'An array of keywords for characterizing / categorizing policy objects. Keywords are of one of two types: - Keywords defined in this and other MOFs, or in DMTF white papers. These keywords provide a vendor- independent, installation-independent way of characterizing policy objects. - Installation-dependent keywords for characterizing policy objects. Examples include \'Engineering\', \'Billing\', and \'Review in December 2000\'. This MOF defines the following keywords: \'UNKNOWN\', \'CONFIGURATION\', \'USAGE\', \'SECURITY\', \'SERVICE\', \'MOTIVATIONAL\', \'INSTALLATION\', and \'EVENT\'. These concepts are self-explanatory and are further discussed in the SLA/Policy White Paper. One additional keyword is defined: \'POLICY\'. The role of this keyword is to identify policy-related instances that may not be otherwise identifiable, in some implementations. The keyword \'POLICY\' is NOT mutually exclusive of the other keywords specified above.'
'The PolicyRoles property represents the roles associated with a PolicySet. All contained PolicySet instances inherit the values of the PolicyRoles of the aggregating PolicySet but the values are not copied. A contained PolicySet instance may, however, add additional PolicyRoles to those it inherits from its aggregating PolicySet(s). Each value in PolicyRoles multi-valued property represents a role for which the PolicySet applies, i.e., the PolicySet should be used by any enforcement point that assumes any of the listed PolicyRoles values.
Although not officially designated as \'role combinations\', multiple roles may be specified using the form: [&&]* where the individual role names appear in alphabetical order (according to the collating sequence for UCS-2). Implementations may treat PolicyRoles values that are specified as \'role combinations\' as simple strings.
This property is deprecated in lieu of the use of an association, CIM_PolicySetInRoleCollection. The latter is a more explicit and less error-prone approach to modeling that a PolicySet has one or more PolicyRoles.'
'PolicyRule.Priority is deprecated and replaced by providing the priority for a rule (and a group) in the context of the aggregating PolicySet instead of the priority being used for all aggregating PolicySet instances. Thus, the assignment of priority values is much simpler.
A non-negative integer for prioritizing this Policy Rule relative to other Rules. A larger value indicates a higher priority. The default value is 0.'
'This property gives a policy administrator a way of specifying how the ordering of the PolicyActions associated with this PolicyRule is to be interpreted. Three values are supported: o mandatory(1): Do the actions in the indicated order, or don\'t do them at all. o recommended(2): Do the actions in the indicated order if you can, but if you can\'t do them in this order, do them in another order if you can. o dontCare(3): Do them -- I don\'t care about the order. The default value is 3 ("DontCare").'
