Your network contains a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager environment.
You need to receive an email message every day that lists all non-compliant clients.
What should you do?
A.
Create an alert subscription.
B.
Configure a Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report.
C.
Configure an in-console alert.
D.
Create a ConfigMgr query.
Explanation:
My first option was “Create an alert subscription.”
However, the question says that you need to receive an email “every day”, not instantly. You might
call it a daily digest.
When you set up an alert subscription, you receive an email alert instantly, whenever that alert
happens. So this might not be the answer that this question is looking for.
I’ve noticed that this test emphasizes somewhat on the “SQL Server Business Intelligence
Development Studio” and the “Reports Builder”.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg508710.aspx
Overview of Custom Reports
Custom reports are intended for advanced users who are comfortable creating their own reports by
using
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio,
SQL
Server Reporting Services Report Builder, or Microsoft Visual Studio Report Designer.

Configuring a Report Server for E-Mail Delivery
Reporting Services includes an e-mail delivery extension so that you can distribute reports through
e-mail.
Depending on how you define the e-mail subscription, a delivery might consist of a notification, link,
attachment, or embedded report.
The report server e-mail delivery extension is not configured by default. You must use the Reporting
Services Configuration tool to minimally configure the extension.

Configuring Alerts in Configuration Manager
Alerts in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager are generated by some operations when a
specific condition occurs. Typically, alerts are generated when an error occurs that you must resolve.
Additionally, an alert might be generated to warn you that a condition exists so that you can
continue to monitor the situation.
You can configure alerts for some Configuration Manager operations, such as Endpoint Protection
and client status, whereas some alerts are configured automatically. Additionally, you can configure
subscriptions to alerts for client status and Endpoint Protection that will be emailed to you.

How to Configure Alerts for Endpoint Protection in Configuration Manager
You can configure Endpoint Protection alerts in Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration
Manager to notify administrative users when specific security events occur in your hierarchy.
Notifications display in the Endpoint Protection dashboard in the Configuration Manager console, in
reports, and you can configure them to be emailed to specified recipients.

What’s New in Configuration Manager SP1
Email alert subscriptions are now supported for all features, not just Endpoint Protection.
