Description: A pmCapabilitiesOverrideState of invalid indicates that management software should not send policies to this system for the capability identified in the pmCapabilitiesOverrideType for this row of the table. This behavior is the same whether the capability represented by the pmCapabilitiesOverrideType exists only in this table (that is, it was installed by an external management application) or exists in this table as well as the pmCapabilitiesTable. This would be the case when a manager wanted to disable a capability that the native management system found and registered in the pmCapabilitiesTable.

An entry in this table that has a pmCapabilitiesOverrideState of valid should be treated as though it appeared in the pmCapabilitiesTable. If the entry also exists in the pmCapabilitiesTable in the pmCapabilitiesType object, and if the value of this object is valid, then the system shall operate as though this entry did not exist and policy installations and executions will continue in a normal fashion.
