Compliance rules
The simplest compliance rule to configure is an Existential rule. Existential rules test whether
a setting exists. You can choose whether the compliance state exists or does not exist. In
addition to testing for existence, the File system setting also supports the following com-
pliance rule: File Exists The Following Number Of Times. This rule uses any of the available
operators to compare values from
0
through
9999
.
Another type of rule is the Value rule. You use value rules to compare the current value in
the configuration item to a specified value by using one of the available operators. Some of
the setting types support more than just a simple comparison. For example:
The value rule for the Registry Key setting enables you to evaluate permissions on a
registry key for compliance.
