Your company has a production network and a test network. Both networks have System
Center 2012 Configuration Manager deployed.
You create the following objects on the test network:
A configuration item named SQLServerCI
A configuration baseline named SQLServerBaseline that contains the configuration item A
collection named SQLServers that contains all of the servers on the test network that run
Microsoft SQL Server
You export the configuration baseline to SQLServerBaseline.cab.
You open the Configuration Manager console, you click Assets and Compliance, and then
you expand Compliance Settings.
You need to apply the configuration baseline to the servers on the production network that
run SQL Server.
You create a collection named SQLServers that contains all SQL Servers from the
production network.
What should you do next? (Choose all that apply.)
A.
Right-click SQLServersBaseline, select Categorize, and then select Server.
B.
Right-click SQLServerCI, select Export, and then specify SQLServer Baseline.cab as the
export file.
C.
Right-click SQLServersBaseline, select Deploy, and then select the SQLServers
collection.
D.
Right-click Configuration Baselines, and then select Import Configuration Data
E.
Right-click SQLServersBaseline, and then select Properties. In the Deployments tab, type
SQLServers in the Filter… box.

How to Import Configuration Data in Configuration Manager
In addition to creating configuration baselines and configuration items in the System Center
2012 Configuration
Manager console, you can import configuration data if it is contained in a cabinet (.cab) file
format and adheres to the supported SML schema. You can import configuration data from
the following sources:
Best practice configuration data (Configuration Packs) that has been downloaded from
Microsoft or from other software vendor sites.
Configuration data that has been exported from System Center 2012 Configuration
Manager.
Configuration data that was externally authored and that conforms to the Service Modeling
Language (SML) schema.
How to Import Configuration Data
When you import a configuration baseline, some or all of the configuration items that are
referenced in the configuration baseline might also be included in the cabinet file. During the
import process, Configuration Manager verifies that all of the configuration items that are
referenced in the configuration baseline are either also included in the cabinet file or already
exist in the Configuration Manager site. The import process fails if you attempt to import a
configuration baseline that references configuration data that Configuration Manager cannot
locate.
To import configuration data
1. In the Configuration Manager console, click Assets and Compliance.
2. In the Assets and Compliance workspace, expand Configuration Items or Configuration
Baselines, and then in the Home tab, in the Create group, click Import Configuration Data.
3. On the Select Files page of the Import Configuration Data Wizard, click Add, and then in
the Open dialog box, select the .cab files you want to import.
4. Select the Create a new copy of the imported configuration baselines and configuration
items check box if you want the imported configuration data to be editable in the
Configuration Manager console.
5. On the Summary page of the wizard, review the actions that will be taken, and then
complete the wizard.
The imported configuration data displays in the Compliance Settings node in the Assets and
Compliance workspace.

How to Deploy Configuration Baselines in Configuration Manager
Configuration baselines in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager must be deployed to
one or more collections of users or devices before client devices in those collections can
assess their compliance with the configuration baseline.
Use the Deploy Configuration Baselines dialog box to define configuration baseline
deployments, which includes adding or removing configuration baselines from deployments
in addition to specifying the evaluation schedule.
To deploy a configuration baseline
1. In the Configuration Manager console, click Assets and Compliance.
2. In the Assets and Compliance workspace, expand Compliance Settings, and then click
Configuration Baselines.3. In the Configuration Baselines list, select the configuration baseline that you want to
deploy, and then in the
Home tab, in the Deployment group, click Deploy.
4. In the Deploy Configuration Baselines dialog box, select the configuration baselines that
you want to deploy in the Available configuration baselines list. Click Add to add these to the
Selected configuration baselines list.
5. Specify the following additional information:
* Remediate noncompliant rules when supported – Enable this option to automatically
remediate any rules that are noncompliant for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI),
the registry, scripts, and all settings for mobile devices that are enrolled by Configuration
Manager.
* Allow remediation outside the maintenance window – If a maintenance window has been
configured for the collection to which you are deploying the configuration baseline, enable
this option to let compliance settings remediate the value outside of the maintenance
window.
6. Generate an alert – Enable this option to configure an alert that is generated if the
configuration baseline 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.
7. Collection: Click Browse to select the collection where you want to deploy the
configuration baseline.
8. Specify the compliance evaluation schedule for this configuration baseline: Specifies the
schedule by which the deployed configuration baseline is evaluated on client computers.
This can be either a simple or a custom schedule.
9. Click OK to close the Deploy Configuration Baselines dialog box and to create the
deployment.
