Edit a configuration compliance baseline
You can edit the devices, name, and other properties associated with a configuration baseline. For field descriptions displayed in
the list, see Managing the device configuration compliance on page 83.
CAUTION: If a template used for a baseline is already associated with another baseline, editing the template
properties changes the baseline compliance levels of devices already associated. See Edit a baseline compliance
template on page 85. Read through the Error and Event message displayed and act accordingly. For more
information about error and event messages, see the Error and Event Message Reference Guide available on the
support site.

NOTE:
Whenever a configuration baseline is edited, a configuration inventory job is automatically triggered to collect the
inventory of the devices associated with the baseline for which the inventory data is unavailable. This newly-created
configuration inventory job has the same name as the baseline for which the inventory is collected. Also, on the
Configuration Compliance page a progress bar indicating the progress of inventory job appears alongside the respective
baseline.

Remediate noncompliant devices
You can remediate the devices which are not conforming to the associated baseline by changing the attribute values to match
with the associated baseline attributes. To view the drifted attributes, from the device compliance report, click View Report.
The Compliance Report table lists the attribute names with the expected and current values of the attributes.
To remediate one or more noncompliant devices:
1. Select Configuration > Configuration Compliance.
2. From the list of configuration compliance baselines, select the corresponding check box, and then click View Report.
3. From the list of noncompliant devices, select one or more devices, and then click Make Compliant.
4. Schedule the configuration changes to run immediately or later, and then click Finish.
To apply the configuration changes after the next server reboot, you can select the Stage configuration changes to
device(s) on next reboot option.
A new configuration inventory task is run, and the compliance status of the baseline is updated on the Compliance page.
NOTE:
A baseline with multiple devices can sometimes show up as non-complaint permanently as few of the attribute
values are not necessarily same across all the targets. For example, the Boot Control attributes such as the iSCSI Target
