A static endpoint group is created by adding 321 endpoints using the Upload From File feature. However, after group creation, the members count field shows 244 endpoints. What are two possible…

Question

Options

• AStatic groups have a limit of 250 endpoints when adding by file
• BEndpoints added to the new group were previously added to an existing group
• CEndpoints added to the group were in Disconnected or Connection Lost status when
• DThe IP address, hostname, or alias of the endpoints must match an existing agent that has

• A
  15% (4)
• B
  7% (2)
• C
  78% (21)

Explanation

When uploading endpoints by file to a static group, two silent failure conditions can cause entries to be skipped. Option C is correct because endpoints in a Disconnected or Connection Lost status cannot be successfully added - the system requires endpoints to be reachable/active to confirm group membership. Option D is correct because the file entries must exactly match an existing registered agent's IP address, hostname, or alias; if the identifier in the file doesn't correspond to a known agent in the system, that entry is simply ignored rather than flagged as an error.

Option A is wrong because no 250-endpoint file upload limit exists for static groups - this is a fabricated constraint designed to distract. Option B is wrong because endpoints can belong to multiple groups simultaneously; prior membership in another group does not block re-enrollment.

Memory tip: Think of the upload file as a "lookup table" - the system cross-references each entry against registered agents (→ D) and only processes ones that are currently responsive (→ C). If either check fails silently, the count shrinks without warning.
