If in Policy Manager Console I copy subdomain under another domain, are all the subdomain specific rules and configurations moved also?

Issue:

If in Policy Manager Console I cut or copy a policy domain and move or paste it under a different policy domain, will all the policy settings for the host devices stay the same? 

 

Resolution:

When you copy or move a policy domain in the Policy Manager Console's domain tree, all the policy settings of that policy domain are transferred also. If the policy domain that you copied or moved is not under a new parent policy, it will also inherit the policy settings from the parent policy. 

Example: 

If the policy that you copied had real-time scanning exclusion rules, those will carry over when you copy the policy domain to be under a new parent policy domain. If the parent policy domain has its own real-time scanning exclusion rules, the subdomain will inherit the parent domains real-time scanning exclusions so that you will have both the parent domain's and subdomain's exclusions in the "Files and applications excluded from scanning" list.
