Security Compliance Management Toolkit – How to Configure the Desired Configuration Management (DCM) feature

This video demonstrates how to operate the desired configuration management (DCM) feature in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) for security baseline compliance monitoring. You use the DCM feature to monitor the settings on computers in a site collection. However, before getting into the procedures for this feature, this chapter offers planning considerations about how to choose Configuration Packs for your environment, and how to create site collections. After completing these planning activities, you can configure the DCM feature to use the Configuration Packs and assign them to site collections that fit the needs of your organization.
