Using Comparison Operators with Device Profile Attributes

Some device profile attributes can be modified using comparison operators shown in the below table, which is useful in situations such as these:

• Keeping a device profile current with software that is automatically updated on client devices—you don’t need to manually change the profile each time the software is updated.

• Specifying that a specific file detected on client machines has a timestamp greater than a certain date and time.

• Specifying that the Windows operating system detected on the client device be greater than or equal to a certain version.

Available comparison operators

Operator	Description
<	Less than
<=	Less than or equal to
=	Equal to
!=	Not Equal to
>=	Greater than or equal to
>	Greater than

Comparison operators can be used in conjunction with these device profile attributes:

• File date or time stamp for a specific file

• File size for a specific file

• Registry entry (when value data is selected for a registry key)

• Windows version

• Advanced End Point Control
