When a configuration is deployed for a computer, the configuration will take effect during the subsequent system startup or during the 90 minutes refresh cycle. For example, even if the computer is active while deploying the configuration, the configuration will take effect during the next refresh cycle or system start-up.

This document lists the various configurations that can be applied on a computer, which are:
