Can someone please help me to complete this task:

 

 CMDB Health Micro-Certification Simulator (Yokohama) (Course) / Task 05: Configure Desired State Au...

 

SCENARIO:

Cloud Dimensions is planning to upgrade one of their applications running on Windows infrastructure and they want to run a desired state audit to determine which Windows Servers are certified and which need to be upgraded to the minimum operating system version.

 

REQUIREMENT:

1. As the Cloud Dimensions CMDB administrator, using CI Class Manager, configure a desired state audit to meet the following requirements:

Certification Filter:

  • Named Windows Servers Filter and includes all Windows Servers
  • Note: The certification filter defines the scope of the audit which in this case includes all Windows Servers in the CMDB

Certification Template:

  • Named Windows Servers Template and includes certification attribute conditions for Operating Systems that are Windows 2012 R2 Standard, Windows 2016 Standard, Windows 2019 Datacenter
  • Note: The certification template determines what criteria is being used to pass the audit, which in this case includes the 3 operating systems listed

Audit:

  • Named: Windows Audit and is configured to audit which Windows Servers are certified on Windows 2012 R2 Standard, Windows 2016 Standard, Windows 2019 Datacenter and which Windows Servers are not
  • Note: The audit references the template and when run, fails all Windows Servers that are NOT 2012 R2, 2016, or 2019

 

2. From CI Class Manager, from the Windows Server class, run the audit and verify the results.

 

VERIFICATION:

After running the audit, verify the correct Windows Servers pass and fail the audit.

  • Windows Servers that are Windows 2012 R2 Standard, Windows 2016 Standard, and Windows 2019 Datacenter should pass the audit
  • All other Windows Servers should fail the audit.

@rahul20bcrn The whole process is straight forward and clear. What are you struck at?

The 'Certification Filter' is the whole set of 'Windows Servers'

The 'Certification Template' is the set of standards.

Using 'Audit' the 'Certification filter' content is checked against the 'Certification Template' and the results are shown. 

Please reply with details to assist you further.
