When client computers in Configuration Manager 2007 download assigned configuration baselines and evaluate their compliance with them, they report their compliance results to their assigned site in state messages. Configuration baselines are assigned to collections, and a collection can have more than one configuration baseline assigned. To view the compliance information by collection, run the report Compliance by collection.
You can run this report with two procedures:
- From the Desired Configuration
Management home page.
- From the Reports node.
