Baseline Question

(imported topic written by amagewick91)

I would like to know how to apply a baseline with an action, keep the action open, modify the baseline after the computers are “complete” and have the clients see that there is a change and then run the baseline again.

I can’t seem to figure out how to get this to work.

Hey amagewick,

By design, you will need to update the baseline, stop the baseline action, and then re-run the baseline. This is done to prevent unauthorized changes to your approved baselines and undesired side-effects from changing a baseline without realizing the consequences of the change.

Can I run that action redeploy tool and just rerun an open action for the baseline… or is that for something else? Thank you for the info so far!

I don’t the the redeploy will work properly for baselines… but in either case, I recommend re-running the action manually to make sure to select the appropriate action parameters.
