In Symantec Endpoint Security (SES), when an administrator edits and saves an existing policy, the system creates a new version.All previous versions of the policy are added to the policy archive list. This allows administrators to retain a historical record of policy configurations, which can be referenced or reactivated if needed.
* Purpose of Policy Versioning and Archiving:
* The policy archive provides an organized history of policy changes, enabling administrators to track adjustments over time or roll back to a previous version if necessary.
* Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* Dormant until reactivated(Option A) implies temporary inactivity but does not match the archival system in SES.
* Deleted after 30 days(Option B) would result in loss of policy history.
* Active and assignable(Option C) is incorrect as only the latest version is typically active for assignments.
References: The SES advanced policy versioning system archives previous versions for historical reference and policy management.
