Attach Baselines and Baseline Groups to Objects
To view compliance information and remediate objects in the inventory against specic baselines and
baseline groups, you must rst aach existing baselines and baseline groups to these objects.
You can aach baselines and baseline groups to objects from the Update Manager Client Compliance view.
Although you can aach baselines and baseline groups to individual objects, a more ecient method is to
aach them to container objects, such as folders, vApps, clusters, and data centers. Individual vSphere
objects inherit baselines aached to the parent container object. Removing an object from a container
removes the inherited baselines from the object.
If your vCenter Server system is connected to other vCenter Server systems by a common
vCenter Single Sign-On domain, you can aach baselines and baseline groups to objects managed by the
vCenter Server system with which Update Manager is registered. Baselines and baseline groups you aach
are specic for the Update Manager instance that is registered with the vCenter Server system.
Prerequisites
Ensure that you have the  Baseline privilege.
Procedure
1 Connect the vSphere Client to a vCenter Server system with which Update Manager is registered, and
select Home > Inventory.
