As described earlier, Setup creates two collections for distributing the SMS 2003 R2 Scan Tool for Vulnerability Assessment to SMS Advanced Clients.

The Vulnerability Assessment Tool (pre-production) collection contains in its direct membership the test computer specified during Setup. If you want additional test computers, create a direct query rule to add them to the collection.

When the Scan Tool for Vulnerability Assessment scans the test computer as expected, remove the Limit to collection option on the Vulnerability Assessment Tool collection so that it becomes a true query-based collection and includes all Advanced Clients.

To remove the limit-to-collection option
  1. In the SMS Administrator console, navigate to Custom Updates Tool (default) in the Collections node:

      Systems Management Server

      └ Site Database <sitecode - sitename>

        └ Collections

  2. Right-click Vulnerability Assessment Tool (default) collection, and click Properties to open the Vulnerability Assessment Tool (default) Collection Properties dialog box.

  3. Click the Membership Rules tab, right-click the Collection Query membership rule, and click Properties to open the Query Rule Properties dialog box.

  4. Set the Collection limiting option to Not collection limited.

  5. Click OK to exit the Query Rule Properties dialog box.

  6. Click OK to exit the Vulnerability Assessment Tool (default) Collection Properties dialog box.

  7. Click the Vulnerability Assessment Tool (default) collection in the left pane of the SMS Administrator console under the Collections node. Verify that all computers that you want to manage are listed in the right pane.

If you prefer not to use the Vulnerability Assessment Tool (default) collection, you can modify the Vulnerability Assessment Tool advertisement to use any collection you want.
