Remote connection profiles in System Center 2012
Configuration Manager must be deployed to one or more device
collections before they can be used.
Use the Deploy Remote Connection Profile dialog box to
configure the deployment of remote connection profiles. As part of
the configuration, you define the collection to which the remote
connection profile is to be deployed and specify how often the
remote connection profile is evaluated for compliance.
Important |
If a device leaves a collection to which a remote connection
profile has been deployed, the remote connection profile settings
are disabled on the device. However, for this process to occur
correctly, you must have already deployed at least one
configuration item or configuration baseline that contains a
configuration item from your site. |
To deploy a remote connection
profile
-
In the Configuration Manager console, click Assets
and Compliance.
-
In the Assets and Compliance workspace, expand
Compliance Settings, and then click Remote Connection
Profiles.
-
In the Remote Connection Profiles list, select
the remote connection profile that you want to deploy, and then, in
the Home tab, in the Deployment group, click
Deploy.
-
In the Deploy Remote Connection Profile dialog
box, specify the following information:
- Collection - Click Browse to
select the device collection where you want to deploy the remote
connection profile.
- Remediate noncompliant rules when
supported - Enable this option to automatically remediate the
remote connection profile when it is found to be noncompliant on a
client computer, for example, when it is not present.
- Allow remediation outside the maintenance
window - If a maintenance window has been configured for the
collection to which you deploy the remote connection profile,
enable this option to let Configuration Manager remediate the
remote connection profile outside the maintenance window. For more
information about maintenance windows, see How to Use Maintenance
Windows in Configuration Manager.
- Generate an alert - Enable this option
to configure an alert that is generated if the remote connection
profile compliance is less than a specified percentage by a
specified date and time. You can also specify whether you want an
alert to be sent to System Center Operations Manager.
- Specify the compliance evaluation schedule
for this configuration baseline - Specify the schedule by which
the deployed remote connection profile is evaluated on client
computers. You can specify either a simple or a custom
schedule.
Note |
The profile is evaluated by client computers when the user logs
on.If two remote connection profiles are deployed to the same
device collection, where in one profile Remediate noncompliant
rules when supported is checked and in the other profile
Remediate noncompliant rules when supported is not checked,
and the two remote connection profiles contain different connection
settings, then the profile in which Remediate noncompliant rules
when supported is not checked might override the settings in
the other profile. This type of remote connection profile
deployment is not supported by Configuration Manager. |
-
Click OK to close the Deploy Remote
Connection Profile dialog box and to create the deployment. For
more information about how to monitor the deployment, see How to Monitor Remote
Connection Profiles in Configuration Manager.
