SUMMARY
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server supports a feature referred to as system policies.



MORE INFORMATION
System policies take effect on Exchange 2000 configuration objects that are typically thought of as "server-side" objects. System policies can be applied to an entire Exchange 2000 server, or an individual Exchange 2000 database.

System policies employ an "apply-time" implementation for effecting configuration changes. That is, an administrator creates a policy, defines the settings that policy should implement, associates that policy with one or more objects of the same class, and then applies the policy with the Exchange System Manager. In this way, system policies can be thought to execute a bulk edit.

The underlying objects that have had a policy applied to them list the applicable policies and disable (gray out) the settings that have been "overridden" by the policy. This enables administrators to lock down further changes.
