4.5 Viewing Report Results

As Secure Configuration Manager runs a security check or policy template, the console displays a report in the Pending jobs queue. When the run completes, Secure Configuration Manager moves the report to the Completed jobs queue. To view available reports, select Job Queues in the left pane, and then Completed in the content pane. When you open a report, Secure Configuration Manager launches the Report Viewer. From the Report Viewer, you can export results in a variety of file formats. For more information about exporting report results, see Section 4.6, Exporting Reports. For more information about graphics in the report, see Section 10.1, Creating Custom Tasks and Reports.

NOTE:When you attempt to view large reports in the Report Viewer, the console might time out and disconnect from the database. To prevent this issue, change the Database Timeout for Console setting in the Tools > Options window to a longer period of time.

If the completed report indicates one or more endpoints failed security checks, you can re-run the failed checks for those endpoints only. To re-run checks for failed endpoints, right-click the completed report, and then click select Re-run for Failed Endpoints. Secure Configuration Manager generates a new report in the Completed jobs queue. For information about evaluating report results, see Section 5.0, Evaluating Audit Results.
