Parallels Mac Management Features
To evaluate Mac computers for compliance, you need to add the configuration item to a baseline
and then deploy it to a Mac collection. See Deploying Configuration Baseline (p. 86) for more
information.
Enforcing Parallels Desktop VM Settings
A Parallels Desktop virtual machine has numerous configuration options that can be customized on
client Macs according to your organization requirements. To monitor Macs for virtual machine
configuration compliance you need to create a virtual machine configuration item specifying the
desired configuration parameters.
Note: The settings that you specify in a virtual machine configuration item will be applied to all existing
virtual machines on a given Mac.
To create a virtual machine configuration item:
1 In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to Assets and Compliance / Overview /
Compliance Settings.
2 Right-click Configuration Items, point to Create Parallels Configuration Item and click
Parallels Virtual Machine Configuration. The Virtual Machine Configuration Profile dialog
opens.
3 To specify the virtual machine configuration options to monitor, select an item in the left pane
and specify individual configuration settings in the right pane.
