8. A method for deploying a policy structure to at least two clients by performing policy schema translation on a device having a processor, the method comprising: executing on the processor instructions configured to: interpret a translation collection hosted on a client to translate a policy version of the policy structure with a policy major version value hosted on the client to a translated policy version of the policy structure with a translated policy major version value that is smaller than the policy major version value; upon identifying at least one unsupported policy object that is included in the policy version, where the unsupported policy object is applicable to a client and is not supported by the translated policy version, exclude the at least one unsupported policy object from the translated policy version; deploy the policy version of the policy structure to one or more clients that support the policy major version value; and deploy the translated policy version of the policy structure excluding the at least one unsupported policy object to one or more clients that supports the translated policy major version value.

The method of claim 8 : the translated policy version comprising a first translated policy version and the translated policy major version value is a first translated policy major version value; and the method comprising: interpreting the translation collection hosted on a client of the system to translate the first translated policy version to a second translated policy version with a second translated policy major version value that is at least one less than the first translated policy major version value; and issuing a deployment command that will result in the deployment of the second translated policy version to clients that support the second translated policy major version value and that have been identified by a targeting parameter in the deployment command.
