    I was wondering if it is possible to somehow print out all of the policy settings for a particular group.  For example, a certain team wants to know and have a document (pdf, doc,etc) of  what exclusions, scan times, live update times, etc. for their client group.  Thanks!

    Once the Policy is imported Rename the file to have a .zip extension instead of .dat.

    Open the zip file and inside you will find a .xml file. Open the .xml file to view the contents of the policy that you have exported.
