Your company uses System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to monitor compliance. The
company has a configuration baseline for each server that has the Web Server (IIS) server
rote installed. A new corporate policy specifies that the maximum TCP window size for all of
the Web servers must be 131,072 bytes. You discover that the TCP window size is set in the
following registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_
MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\MaxBytesPerSend You
need to generate an error message for all of the Web servers that do NOT comply with the
corporate policy. What should you do?

A.
Add a new configuration item that has a registry value setting type to the configuration
baseline.

B.
Create a query-based collection that contains all of the Web servers, and then initiate an
inventory collection.

C.
Create a query that returns a list of all the Web servers, and then search the query results
for the registry value.

D.
Add a new configuration item that has an Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase
setting type to the configuration baseline.

Explanation:
Add a new configuration item that has a registry value setting type to the configuration
baseline.

Introduction to Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager
Compliance settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager provides a unified
interface and user experience that lets you manage the configuration and compliance of

servers, laptops, desktop computers, and mobile devices in your organization. Compliance
settings contains tools to help you assess the compliance of users and client devices for
many configurations, such as whether the correct Windows operating system versions are
installed and configured appropriately, whether all required applications are installed and
configured correctly, whether optional applications are configured appropriately, and whether
prohibited applications are installed. Additionally, you can check for compliance with
software updates, security settings, and mobile devices. Configuration item settings of the
type Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), registry, script, and all mobile device
settings in Configuration Manager let you automatically remediate noncompliant settings
when they are found. Compliance is evaluated by defining a configuration baseline that
contains the configuration items that you want to evaluate and settings and rules that
describe the level of compliance you must have. You can import this configuration data from
the web in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Configuration Packs as best
practices that are defined by Microsoft and other vendors, in Configuration Manager, and
that you then import into Configuration Manager. Or, an administrative user can create new
configuration items and configuration baselines. http://technet.microsoft.com/enus/library/gg712331.aspx How to Create Windows Configuration Items for Compliance
Settings in Configuration Manager Create configuration items in System Center 2012
Configuration Manager to define configurations that you want to manage and assess for
compliance on devices. There are different types of configuration items:
Application configuration item Used to determine compliance for an application. This can
include whether the application is installed and details about its configuration.
Operating system configuration item Used to determine compliance for settings that relate to
the operating system and its configuration.
Software updates configuration item Automatically created when you download software
updates with Configuration Manager.
You do not create or see these configuration items in the Compliance Settings node, but you
can select them when you define configuration baselines.
General configuration item Used to determine compliance for mobile devices.
Steps to Create a New Configuration Item for Client Computers
Use the following required steps to create a configuration item by using the Create
Configuration Item Wizard:
Step 1: Start the Create Configuration Item Wizard.
Step 2: Provide general information about the configuration item.
Step 3: Provide detection method information for the configuration item.
Step 4: Configure settings for the configuration item.
Step 5: Configure compliance rules for the configuration item.
Step 6: Specify supported platforms for the configuration item.
