Works every time and takes seconds to do.   The only thing it doesn't
stop is user backup jobs initiated from clients.

        If you don't need to script the deactivation and don't have
constraints on Keywords associated in the Policies, you can use the
Admin Console GUI.  First, update the individual intentionally
deactivated policies to include INACTIVE (or another mnenomic) in the
Keywords of those policies for something obvious and sortable in the
Keywords column.  Then highlight all the active policies and inactivate
them.=20
        Later, you just go back and reverse the process, eliminating the
INACTIVE policies from the activation process.=20

        This really is a design flaw of the current implementation.
>From v5.X on, previously available methods of suppressing job launch
were no longer available.  Software designers who don't use the tools
they modify... :-(

Yeah, I usually create an active list and then loop over that. That way,
I can use the same list to re-activate them later.
