There is also an implicit precedence on how the icons are displayed.

  1. Adhoc maintenance has the highest precedence. If status bit is 0x4300, icon displayed: Cloud.
  2. Machine maintenance has the higher precedence over server maintenance. The server maintenance is the lowest. The same is true for set resource dependence. If status bit is 0x300, icon displayed: Cloud.
  3. If status bit is 0x200, icon displayed: Clock.
