Altiris? What is this, a dinosaur exam? I'm surprised they didn't include Lotus Notes as one of the data sources. Option B is clearly the right answer, unless they're trying to trick us.

This question is giving me a headache! I bet the developers who wrote this exam question have way too much time on their hands. Option D seems the most logical to me, but who knows?

I'm not sure about this one. It's confusing with all the different data sources and precedence rules. I'm just going to guess and say option A.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm going to go with option C. It just makes sense to me that if ServiceNow discovers an Application CI, then ServiceWatch should be able to update it.

Because if an Application CI is discovered by ServiceNow first, then an update will be allowed if discovered by ServiceWatch.

I think option B is the correct answer. The Data Source Precedence Rules show that ServiceWatch has a higher precedence than ServiceNow, so if an Application CI is discovered by ServiceWatch, an update from ServiceNow would be allowed.
