Okay, I think I get some of that. Here's the example i'm confused by:

*Condition 1*
Cisco:PA:OS-Type contains Windows 2000
AND
Cisco:Host:Hotfixes=KB14478

Posture Token= Cisco:Host:Healthy

*Condition 2*
Default

Posture Token Cisco:Host:Quarantine



Now in this case, what is the difference in me using Cisco:Host instead of
Cisco:PA for the posture tokens (healthy and quarantine)??


Thanks for all your help mate, its appreciated.


Paul.
