Use these policies to prevent installation of individual components or subcomponents of iSeries™ Access for Windows®.
Normally, these components can be installed during an initial installation of iSeries Access for Windows, an upgrade to a newer release, or when using Selective Setup after the product has been installed. When policy is used to prevent the installation of a specific component, none of those methods may be used to install that component. In fact, the restricted component will not even appear as an installation choice.
Once a component is installed, using this policy will not cause the component to be uninstalled. If, however, the component is uninstalled later, it cannot be re-installed due to the policy restriction. One case in which this occurs is during an upgrade from one release to another. The first release is uninstalled, then when the new release is installed, policy-restricted components cannot be installed again.
Some of the components are each made up of multiple subcomponents. In these cases, one policy usually exists to restrict installation of the whole component, while other policies exist to allow preventing the installation of subcomponents within the higher level component.
The list of all individual components and subcomponents whose installation may be restricted by policy is as follows:
