In-Depth Information
Client settings contain the default schedule for running evaluations as shown in Figure 4-2.
When you deploy a configuration baseline to a collection, you can specify remediation set-
tings, alert settings, and a schedule for that configuration baseline to use for evaluating the
client systems.
FIGURE 4-2
Compliance Settings
You can use the evaluation results of the configuration baseline to create a collection. If
the configuration baseline contains configuration items that do not support automatic reme-
diation, you can use this collection as a target so that an additional task can remediate the
issue. For example, you might use the configuration items in a configuration baseline to
detect a forbidden application. You then can create a collection based on the configuration
baseline and deploy an application or package to uninstall the forbidden application.
You can create collections based on the following compliance states: Compliant, Error,
Non-Compliant, and Unknown. You can access the wizard for creating the collection by
selecting the configuration baseline and then selecting the Deployment tab. When you select
a deployment on the Deployment tab, a Create New Collection menu appears on both the
ribbon and the Actions menu. You can use this option to create a query-based collection
according to the state you have chosen.
