Mandatory Baseline
A mandatory baseline is a minimum patch standard set by the administrator that all agents
assigned to a group must meet. If a device falls below that minimum patched status, the
mandatory baseline will automatically send out the patches necessary to keep the device
secure.
:
Unless stringent Hours of Operation policies are in effect, do not apply mandatory
NOTE
baselines to groups of mission critical servers or other devices where unscheduled reboots
would disrupt daily operations.
It is important to consider the following when working with mandatory baselines:
•
Mandatory baseline inheritance indicates that a group's devices (both inherited and
assigned) are included by the parent group when evaluating it's own baseline items and
inheritance.
•
If devices receive a mandatory baseline item via inheritance, the mandatory baseline item
will also be displayed on the child group's Mandatory Baseline view. However, the
baseline items will be unavailable, indicating the mandatory baseline originates from a
parent group.
•
Disabling mandatory baseline deployments only applies to the mandatory baseline items
that are directly assigned to the group, and will prevent those directly assigned items from
being inherited by the group's child hierarchy.
