Summary
When you select a computer from the ePO System Tree to view the System Details page, Applied Policies tab, your policy page displays a list of policies and the Policy Settings Up-To-Date column shows either True or False.
Similarly, when you check a computer from the System Tree, Actions, View Assigned Policies page, your policy page displays a list of policies and the State column shows either Applied or Not Applied.
After a policy is assigned to a client computer or an assigned policy is modified, TA downloads policies from ePO on the next successful agent-to-server communication. Once this occurs, the Policy Settings Up-To-Date value for the given computer changes to True and the State value changes to Applied in the View Assigned Policies page.
