Based on the policy condition image showing "Does not meet the following criteria", the correct statement is that it negates the criteria as part of the property.​

Understanding "Does not meet the following criteria":

According to the Forescout Administration Guide:​

The "Does not meet the following criteria" radio button option in policy conditions creates a logical negation of the condition:

"Meets the following criteria" - Endpoint matches if the condition is true

"Does not meet the following criteria" - Endpoint matches if the condition is FALSE (negated)

How the Negation Works:

According to the documentation:​

"Use the AND value between both properties: Windows>Manageable Domain>Does not meet the following criteria"

This syntax shows that "Does not meet the following criteria" negates the entire criteria evaluation:

Normal condition: "Windows Antivirus Running = True"

Result: Matches endpoints WITH antivirus running

Negated condition: "Windows Antivirus Running Does not meet the following criteria (= True)"

Result: Matches endpoints WITHOUT antivirus running (negates the criteria)

Negation Happens at Property Level:

The negation is applied as part of the property evaluation, not as a separate NOT operator. When you select "Does not meet the following criteria":

The condition is evaluated normally

The result is then negated/inverted

The endpoint matches only if the negated result is true

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B. Modifies the irresolvable condition to TRUE - "Does not meet the following criteria" doesn't specifically affect irresolvable property handling

C. Generates a NOT condition in the sub-rule condition - The negation is part of this property's evaluation, not a separate sub-rule NOT condition

D. Irresolvable hosts would match the condition - "Does not meet the following criteria" doesn't specifically target irresolvable hosts

E. Modifies the evaluate irresolvable condition to FALSE - This setting doesn't affect the "Evaluate irresolvable as" setting
