Task 05: Configure Desired State Audit Rule

[jihyungkim]

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
  
  Hi. I have a question for you.I got stuck on creating the certification template and audit in this task. I found Certification Filter, Certification Template and Audit under Windows Servers/Health/Compliance and by following the guidance, from Certification Template, I do not see Table amd Attribute Conditions (Please see attachments) so I figure this must be wrong. I appreciate your help. Thanks.
  
  Kind Regards,

Hi @SK Chand Basha,

Ok great! Thanks a bunch. 

For Audit, under Filter, shall I still type Windows Server Filter-1 in the blanks?
