Step 3 Compliance check
Description
Evaluates the software resource s unique
identifier or detection rule to determine whether
the software resource is installed on the client
computer. The software resource s unique
identifier is used when the software resource is
not associated with a detection rule.
The compliance check runs for each software
resource in the Managed Software Delivery policy.
This compliance check determines whether the
software is in the correct state. The correct state
of a software resource can mean that it is installed
or that it is not installed.
If all the software in the Managed Software
Delivery policy is in the correct state, it is
compliant. Therefore, remediation is not needed
and the policy execution stops. If any or all of the
software is not in the correct state, it is out of
compliance. Therefore, remediation is required
and the policy execution continues.
