Examples

This XML fragment is an example of a single unique policy setting that sets a registry value to a decimal number, based on the policy setting enabled, disabled, or not configured state.

  <policies>
    <policy name="<placeholder for logical or friendly name>"   
     displayName="$( string.<placeholder for policy text>)"
     explainText="$( string.<placeholder for help text>)"
     key="<placeholder for registry key>" 
     valueName="Example1NoParam">
      <parentCategory ref="SAMPLE" />
      <supportedOn ref="SUPPORTED_ProductOnly" />
      <enabledValue>
        <decimal value="1" />
      </enabledValue>
      <disabledValue>
        <decimal value="0" />
      </disabledValue>
