Does WFilter computer policy override any account policy?

Postby acctpolicy » Fri Feb 24, 2012 1:37 am

I have WFilter (Build: en.4.0.148) installed on my domain controller. I have both Computer Monitoring and Active Directory Account Monitoring enabled.







The issue I’m having is all computers on the network are configured on WFilter to have blocking enabled and with the Account Monitoring all user accounts, except the Administrator account, have blocking enabled. When I log on to a network computer with the Administrator account it is still being blocked.





Do I need to disable blocking for the Computer Monitoring in order for Account Monitoring to work correctly? Does Computer Monitoring override any Account Monitoring?

In WFilter, both "computer policy" and "account policy" work together.



In another word, when you login into a computer, you're applied with two policies.



That's why your administrator account is blocked by the computer policy.



For computers in the domain, we recommend you only setup a basic filtering rule for computers, and use the account policy to do the specific filtering.
