A CMDB Administrator has configured foundation group data for CIs belonging to the Linux Server...

A Technology Management Service Offering associated with the applicable Dynamic CI Group synchronizes operational group information to its member CIs. The fields designed for this synchronization include Managed by Group and Support Group .

Therefore, Linux Server CIs included in the offering’s CI population receive Enterprise IT Services as their Managed by Group. The CI Class Manager value can provide class-level ownership or governance context, but the service-offering alignment actively maintains the operational group value on the related member CIs.

The conflicting values do not cause Discovery or ingestion to fail. ServiceNow applies the configured group-synchronization mechanism rather than leaving the field empty. Change Management Team is assigned to the Change Group field, not the Managed by Group field, so Option D does not answer the question.

Consequently, the Managed by Group assigned to the discovered Linux Server instances is Enterprise IT Services.
