What is the difference between Automatic Migration and Manual Migration?
Automatic Migration:
-Migrates all supported settings for all supported products you have installed on your systems
-Requires minimal input from you
-Create and assign new ENS policies and client tasks automatically, based on your current product settings
Manual Migration:
-Requires user input
-Lets you select specific objects to migrate and edit the policies if needed
-Does not retain assignments for migrated objects
What happens to objects from a previous migration when you initiate another one?
Automatic Migration: Deletes objects created during a previous automatic migration session for the same systems
Manual Migration: Has no effect on objects migrated during a previous session
Are assignments retained post migration for migrated objects?
Manual Migration: No
Automatic Migration: Yes
The path for the quarantine folder is limited to 190 characters in ENS, but VSE allowed 256. What does this mean for migration?
If the migrated quarantine folder path contains more than 190 characters, the path automatically reverts to the default location
How is VSE’s organization of Server vs Workstation policies addressed in migration?
When migrating, you can specify either Workstation, server, or workstation and server for migration.
If you choose to migrate only one at a time, you can migrate the other one at a later time. If you migrate both types simultaneously, the number of target polices may increase, depending on the system tree structure.
If a group contains both workstations and servers, the policy assigned to the greatest number of systems is assigned to the group, and the policy assigned to fewer systems is assigned to individual systems within the group as needed.
Thus, the best practice to minimize the number of assignments is to place workstations and servers in separate groups
What happens to Access Protection port-blocking rules from VSE?
They are not migrated. Also, user added inclusions and exclusions for predefined rules are not migrated.
If you want to continue using legacy rules that don’t migrate from VSE, you can create firewall rules in ENS Firewall to replicate their behavior
