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 > 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.

Remove a configuration compliance baseline

You can remove the configuration compliance level of devices associated with a configuration baseline. For field descriptions displayed in

the list, see Managing the device configuration compliance.

CAUTION: When you delete a compliance baseline, or delete device(s) from a compliance baseline:

• The compliance data of the baseline and/or device(s) is deleted from the OpenManage Enterprise data.

• If a device is removed, its configuration inventory is no longer retrieved, and the already retrieved information is also

deleted, unless the inventory is associated with an Inventory job.

A template used as a compliance baseline cannot be deleted if associated with a device. Appropriate messages are displayed in such cases.

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.

1. Click Configuration > Compliance.

2. From the list of configuration compliance baselines, select the corresponding check box, and then click Delete.

3. When prompted whether or not you want to delete, click YES.

The compliance baseline is deleted and the Overall Compliance Summary table of baselines is updated.
