Question: 1 / 400

Under which of the following conditions will a hash rule in a software restriction policy cease to function?

When the file is deleted

When you update the file to a new version

A hash rule in a software restriction policy is used to identify and control software based on a unique hash value generated from the file's contents. This hash value is specifically tied to the exact version of the file.

When the file is updated to a new version, even if the file retains the same name and location, the contents of the file have changed, resulting in a different hash value. As a result, the software restriction policy that was created for the original file won't apply to the new version because it will not match the hash of the updated file. Consequently, the hash rule ceases to function for that particular version of the file, allowing the updated file to run without restrictions if it is not covered by another rule.

Situations such as the file being deleted, a user logging off, or system updates being installed do not change the hash value of the file itself, and thus do not affect whether the hash rule remains applicable.
