Viewing compliance information
You can use the Configuration Manager Control Panel item to evaluate the baselines for
compliance settings manually or to view the evaluation results for the compliance settings
baselines. You require local administrator rights to view a report in the Configuration
Manager Control Panel item.
To view compliance on a Configuration Manager client, you can access the Configuration
Manager Properties dialog box within Control Panel. The Configurations tab of the
Configuration Manager Properties dialog box displays the following basic information:
■ A list of all the configuration baselines, including the last version of the baseline that
was downloaded
■ The last time the evaluation was performed and the results of the evaluation
■ The configuration baseline evaluations (if any) that are currently running on this
computer
You can use the Configurations tab to perform the following actions:
■ Evaluate You can select a deployed configuration baseline and then use the Evaluate
button to run the evaluation outside the current schedule.
■ View Report When you click the View Report button, an Internet Explorer window
appears, displaying a report on the selected configuration baseline. The report displays
the compliance status of the baseline and all the configuration items that are in the
configuration baseline.
■ Refresh The Refresh button updates the display with current information.
The Configuration Manager site receives the compliance information the client systems
generate in the form of state messages. You can use this information to:
■ View the compliance of the deployment.
■ Create collections based on the state of configuration items.

Generate and view compliance reports.
