Use the Configuration Manager 2007 Import Configuration Data Wizard to import configuration items and configuration baselines from cabinet (.cab) files. These files can contain information about configuration data from one of the following sources:

• Best practices from a Microsoft® System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Configuration Pack (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=71837)
  
  
• Configuration data that has been authored externally and packaged into a cabinet (.cab) file
  
  
• Configuration data exported from Configuration Manager 2007
  
  

The files you choose to import will be validated for a digital signature and for the correct content format. You will be prompted to Run or Don't Run if the file does not have a valid digital signature or the publisher is untrusted. The wizard will validate the format of the files to import and reject files if they contain configuration data in an invalid format.

Once successfully imported, configuration items will be displayed in the Configuration Items node and can then be viewed, edited, and included in configuration baselines. Configuration baselines that are successfully imported will be displayed in the Configuration Baselines node and can then be viewed, edited, and included in other configuration baselines.

The Choose Files page contains the elements described in the following table:
