To Check Profile Compliance

In this procedure, you will run a profile compliance check on a host that belongs to a group. Both the host and the group have assigned profiles. This procedure may be run by any user, of any level permissions.

1. In the Hosts list, expand a group and select a single managed host or group.

2. Do one of the following:

   • From the tool bar, click the Profile Compliance Check button.

   • Right-click the selected host and choose Profile Compliance.

   • From the Hosts menu, choose Profile Compliance Check.

   The Profile Compliance window opens.

   The Profile Compliance Check executes within seconds, resulting in compliance status for the profile attached to the host, and for the profiles attached to groups to which the host belongs.

   Select a profile in the list. Its details appear in the bottom panel.

   If the icon of a profile is marked with an exclamation mark in a red circle, the host is not compliant with that profile. Create a Complex Job to fix the issues (see Chapter 11, Complex Jobs).
