A managed system appears in Lost & Found for which reason?

• A. System is offline
• B. No matching criteria were found
• C. Policy conflict
• D. New system added

Answer: (B)

Lost & Found holds managed systems that can’t be governed by any policy because none of the existing policy deployment criteria match the system’s inventory attributes. When ePO inventories a system, it uses details like OS, version, installed software, and other attributes to determine which policy should apply. If no policy's criteria align with the system, it sits in Lost & Found until an administrator creates or adjusts policies or group assignments so a match can be made. This isn’t simply about the system being offline or about a policy conflict or a brand-new system; it’s specifically about there being no matching criteria for policy application.
