Why Choose Desktop Policy Manager (DPM)
Over ScriptLogic Desktop Authority...
- Leverages native Group Policy technology vs. Logon Scripts
- The same tools you use today for managing Group Policy will still work for desktops managed by DPM
- No proprietary scripts or agents required on the client
- Web interface means you can access the product from anywhere and easily distribute it to folks that aren’t necessarily technically advanced
- Approval-based workflow means that you can have separation of duties between the administrators defining configuration and those implementing it
- Easily extended to support any policy settings that Group Policy supports natively through PowerShell custom settings feature
- Configuration Profiles leverage industry standard Service Modeling Language (SML) specification
Desktop Policy Manager (DPM) secures and configures systems accurately, with less effort and more confidence than ever before. Taking advantage of existing Windows technology, IT Administrators don’t have to install new technology to leverage the features in DPM.
With an intuitive web interface for managing desktop configuration using Group Policy, you never have to see the GP Editor and never have to think about where to link a GPO or what permissions to apply. Just select which policy templates you want to include (drive mappings, application restrictions, IE security, etc.) and the computers or users to target, and DPM does the rest!
