RuleTypeBase Complex Type

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

The RuleTypeBase complex type, in Configuration Manager, defines a rule.

Important

Important Dates must conform to the dateTime format that is defined at: W3C XML Schema Recommendation: dateTime.

When creating rules, you should be aware that Device Configuration Management will perform all date comparisons in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
