ServiceNow Updated CIS-HAM Exam Questions and Answers by bryony

According to the ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management documentation1, when a hardware asset is retired, the system property glide.ham.retire_reclaim_sw() determines whether the software allocations on that asset are automatically reclaimed or not. If the property is set to true, the software allocations are returned to the inventory. If the property is set to false, the software allocations remain with the hardware asset and need to be reclaimed manually. References: 1: Hardware Asset Management - ServiceNow2

The Normalization statuses are the indicators of how well the hardware and consumable models are standardized and normalized in the model catalog and the CMDB. The Normalization statuses are:

• Manufacturer Normalized: The model has been normalized with the manufacturer name and the product name, but not the model number or the device type. For example, Dell Latitude.
• Match Not Found: The model has not been normalized because no matching model was found in the Hardware Asset Management Content Service. For example, ABC XYZ.
• Partially Normalized: The model has been normalized with the manufacturer name, the product name, and the model number, but not the device type. For example, Dell Latitude E7450.
• Normalized: The model has been fully normalized with the manufacturer name, the product name, the model number, and the device type. For example, Dell Latitude E7450 (Laptop).
• Manually Normalized: The model has been manually updated by the user with the normalization content, such as the manufacturer name, the product name, the model number, and the device type. For example, HP Pavilion 15 (Laptop).
• New: The model has been created and has not yet run through the normalization process. For example, Lenovo ThinkPad T490.
