If a group has multiple sorting criteria assigned, when will a system be placed in that group?

• A. Only when it matches all of the sorting criteria
• B. When it matches none of the sorting criteria
• C. When it matches at least one of the sorting criteria
• D. Only when the criteria are synchronized with the server time

Answer: (C)

Group membership with multiple sorting criteria uses OR logic. A system is placed in that group as soon as it satisfies at least one of the criteria. In practice, sorting criteria define different conditions (for example, OS version, installed software, or hardware attributes), and any device that meets any one of these conditions will be classified into the group. If a system had to meet every criterion, the group would be far too restrictive and would classify far fewer devices. Conversely, a system matching none of the criteria wouldn’t belong in that group. The idea that time synchronization with the server affects grouping isn’t relevant to how these criteria are evaluated.
