Policies are created and managed by using Management Studio. The process includes the
following steps:
1. Select a Policy-Based Management facet that contains the properties to be configured.
2. Define a condition that specifies the state of a management facet.
3. Define a policy that contains the condition, additional conditions that filter the target sets,
and the evaluation mode.
4. Check whether an instance of SQL Server is in compliance with the policy.
Evaluation modes There are four evaluation modes, three of which can be automated: On
demand. This mode evaluates the policy when directly specified by the user.
On change: prevent. This automated mode uses DDL triggers to prevent policy violations.
Important If the nested triggers server configuration option is disabled, On change: prevent
will not work correctly. Policy- Based Management relies on DDL triggers to detect and roll
back DDL operations that do not comply with policies that use this evaluation mode.
Removing the Policy-Based Management DDL triggers or disabling nest triggers, will cause
this evaluation mode to fail or perform unexpectedly.
On change: log only
This automated mode uses event notification to evaluate a policy when a relevant change is
made.
On schedule
This automated mode uses a SQL Server Agent job to periodically evaluate a policy.
