Hi All,
have assigned a Desktop Policy and just put in there links to other databases. Assigned the Policy to the organisation and sure enough all the new bookmarks appeared in the bookmark bar, GREAT. There always is one and here it is BUT…
If the user deletes one of these policy added bookmarks it never comes back??? I found another message in the Forum about an agent that updates the Policy so that when a client re-authenticates it applies again, so I would expect the icon comes back, this did not work.
If I remove the Policy and all setting and do again it still does not come back. If I add a new bookmark to somewhere else though that does appear so I know it does get applied.
End question is, how can I put a set of bookmarks on a user bookmark bar and make them enforced so that if they get deleted they will reappear again?
This has been on of those frustrating ones I have not had in a while.
Help greatfully received.
Cheers
Keiron

Have just found the answer to this. Policy documents in 6.x are not enforced, just applied. At version 7 I am told that they can be enforced and for the user they will get, in my case, the bookmark icon with a lock against it indicating the locked object and no ability to delete it.
Hope that helps anyone else that found this one.
Cheers

just a guess but it could be a simple matter of the UNID of the bookmark being tagged deleted, when the policy looks to see if it’s already there it could exist as a deletion stub.
you could try setting the replication settings and then compacting bookmark.nsf to get rid of the deletion stubs and see if it comes back.

Thanks for your comments Raymond. Tried this out with no luck unfortunately. Still looking for the solution if you have any other thoughts.
