Operating system normalization rules are intended for operating systems managing your computers, for example, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, Windows Vista Enterprise Edition, and so forth.
A collected operating system is always a discovered operating system. Collected operating systems have a nonauthoritative status. You map nonauthoritative collected operating systems to normalized authoritative operating systems.
A normalized operating system is always a product-defined operating system. Product-defined operating systems are collected from user input and other products that share the CA MDB. Product-defined operating systems always have an authoritative status. Authoritative status allows an operating system to have a normalization rule. You define a normalization rule for an authoritative normalized operating system when you map one or more collected operating systems to the authoritative operating system.
When you map a collected nonauthoritative operating system to a normalized authoritative operating system, the nonauthoritative operating system becomes subordinate to the authoritative operating system in the normalization rule.
