Creating a Registry Baseline Snapshot task

Registry Baseline Task page

The baseline scan gathers data about the registry settings on a computer at a
given time. The data that is gathered during this scan is saved in a baseline
snapshot file (.RBL) on the scanned computer. The registry settings that are found
during subsequent scans of that computer, or other computers, are compared to
the baseline snapshot.
You perform a baseline scan by creating and running a registry baseline task. We
recommend that you run each baseline scan once to establish the baseline, and
then re-run the baseline scan only when the standard configuration changes.
Generally, you should not run the baseline scan on a regular basis if the baseline
and the compliance scans are run on the same computer. If you do, then you
continually overwrite the baseline snapshot file.
