1. A remote management server, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory to store instructions that, based on their execution, cause the processor to:
generate a policy comprising configuration data for image forming devices and a list of a plurality of image forming devices for which the configuration data is to be applied;
receive, from an image forming device of the plurality of image forming devices, a request for a change in the configuration data for the image forming device in response to the image forming device receiving a separate request to perform the change to the configuration data on the image forming device;
process the request in accordance with a preset rule for accepting the requested change;
in response to the change in the configuration data, update the policy to remove the image forming device from the list; and
in response to the image forming device being rebooted or onboarded to the remote management server, update the list to incorporate the image forming device.
