To leverage Universal Policy and comply with necessary regulations without human intervention, you need ways to:

  • Model changes to Universal Policies safely without interrupting services.

  • Test Universal Policies and secure approval from all stakeholders before deploying them.

  • Deploy tested Universal Policies into trusted or untrusted Active Directory domains and hybrid environments.

  • Maintain consistent Universal Policies across business units, regions, worldwide locations or cloud resources.

  • Roll back to a last known good Universal Policy to quickly recover from errors.
