Serial Number with
Wildcard
1234*
1234???
Because definitions that use wildcard characters apply to more endpoints than those without
wildcards, rules are enforced in this order of precedence:
1. Rules with serial numbers containing * are enforced first.
2. Rules with serial numbers containing ? are enforced next.
3. Rules that contain no wildcard characters are enforced last.
For example, rules that contain serial numbers as shown here are enforced in this order:
1. 12345*
2. 123456*
3. 123????
4. 123456?
5. 1234567
