Implementing Compliance Settings and Endpoint Protection

Question

Your company has 2,000 desktop computers and 450 portable computers. The desktop computers run Windows 7 Enterprise (x64) and the portable computers run Windows 7 Professional (x86). The network contains a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager environment. You create a configuration baseline that is targeted to all of the computers. You discover that you fail to receive compliance information for the configuration baseline from the portable computers. You receive compliance information for the configuration baseline from the desktop computers. You receive compliance information for other configuration baselines from all of the computers. You need to ensure that you receive compliance information for the configuration baseline from all of the computers. What should you do?

Options

  • AAdd the configuration item to a new configuration baseline.
  • BCreate a collection containing the portable computers and assign the configuration baseline
  • CCreate custom client settings for the portable computers and enable Compliance Settings.
  • DConfigure the configuration item to be evaluated on all Windows 7 operating systems.

Explanation

Introduction to Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager Compliance settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager provides a unified interface and user experience that lets you manage the configuration and compliance of servers, laptops, desktop computers, and mobile devices in your organization. Compliance settings contains tools to help you assess the compliance of users and client devices for many configurations, such as whether the correct Windows operating system versions are installed and configured appropriately, whether all required applications are installed and configured correctly, whether optional applications are configured appropriately, and whether prohibited applications are installed. Additionally, you can check for compliance with software updates, security settings, and mobile devices. Configuration item settings of the type Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), registry, script, and all mobile device settings in Configuration Manager let you automatically remediate noncompliant settings when they are found. Compliance is evaluated by defining a configuration baseline that contains the configuration items that you want to evaluate and settings and rules that describe the level of compliance you must have. You can import this configuration data from the web in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Configuration Packs as best practices that are defined by Microsoft and other vendors, in Configuration Manager, and that you then import into Configuration Manager. Or, an administrative user can create new configuration items and configuration baselines. How to Deploy Configuration Baselines in Configuration Manager Configuration baselines in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager must be deployed to one or more collections of users or devices before client devices in those collections can assess their compliance with the configuration baseline. Further information: Question says: this and only this new baseline isn't working on portable devices. Reason: Maybe this baseline wasn't deployed to those PCs. The client/agent on all computers seems to be OK.
