configuration items for automatic remediation. If you enable remediation, you also can
allow the remediation process to ignore maintenance windows by selecting the Allow

Coniguration packs
Configuration packs are predefined configuration items or configuration baselines that
Microsoft and other developers provide to organizations. These configuration packs often
represent best-practice configurations for common operating systems, server roles, services,
and programs. For example, some auditing firms use configuration packs to assess whether an
organization complies with specific regulations regarding computer configuration.
You can download Microsoft and some non-Microsoft configuration packs from the
Microsoft System Center Marketplace. In addition, you can find configuration packs created
by users on several Configuration Manager community support websites. You also can add
existing Configuration Manager 2007 configuration packs to System Center 2012 R2
Configuration Manager by using the import functionality.
After you download and import a configuration pack, you can use the configuration items
and configuration baselines as they are. Alternatively, you can use them as a starting point for
your own configuration settings and then modify the imported configuration packs to meet
your requirements.
