Practice question 280 of 498 · hard

Two configuration sources assign contradictory antivirus values to a client. The architect proposes relying on whichever policy was created most recently. What is the better approach?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Assume the newest policy always wins regardless of policy type
  2. B.Mark the device compliant without evaluating its state
  3. C.Create a third contradictory policy to break the tie
  4. D.Identify and resolve the overlap, then verify the effective device setting
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Identify and resolve the overlap, then verify the effective device setting

Conflicting configuration values need deliberate resolution and effective-state verification. Creation time is not a universal precedence rule. Marking compliance without state evidence is misleading. Adding another contradiction worsens the conflict.
