In ServiceNow Discovery, the reconciliation process is governed by precedence rules. These rules determine which data source's information will be retained if there are conflicts when multiple sources discover the same CI. In this case, Altiris has a higher order of precedence (300) compared to ServiceNow (100), as seen in the "Data Source Precedents" section of the image. Therefore, if Altiris discovers 'Windows2' for the name attribute on the same CI after ServiceNow sets it to 'Windows1', the name will change to 'Windows2' due to Altiris's higher precedence.
