Changing Other Node Attributes

Earlier sections of this chapter explained how to change a node's property group and its Suppressed setting:

• For information on changing a node's property group, see the section Changing a Node's Property Group.
• For information on turning on a node's Suppressed attribute, see the section Suppressing a Node.

This section explains how to change the values of a node's Managed and Auto Delete attributes.

 
  To change one of these attributes:

1. From the client's Admin menu, select Node List.

   The Node List window is displayed.

2. Select a node from the list.
3. With your cursor positioned over the selected node, click your right mouse button to display a pop-up menu listing the actions you can take from this window.
4. From the pop-up menu, choose Managed, Unmanaged, Auto Delete, or No Auto Delete.

   Choosing Managed is the equivalent of checking the Managed checkbox in the Node Definition window, and choosing Auto Delete is the equivalent of checking the Auto Delete checkbox. Choosing Unmanaged or No Auto Delete is the equivalent of unchecking the appropriate checkbox.

The new node setting takes effect.
