DEFINE SUBSCRIPTION (Define a Profile Subscription)

Use this command on a managed server to subscribe that managed server to a profile.

When a server subscribes to its first profile, a subscription is also created to the default profile (if one exists) of the configuration manager. The server then contacts the configuration manager periodically for configuration updates.

Notes:

1. A server cannot subscribe to profiles from more than one configuration manager.

2. If a server subscribes to a profile with an associated object that is already defined on the server, the local definition is replaced by the definition from the configuration manager. For example, if a server has an administrative schedule named WEEKLY_ BACKUP, then subscribes to a profile that also has an administrative schedule named WEEKLY_BACKUP, the local definition is replaced.

Privilege Class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.

Parameters
