Description
The Start-SCComplianceScan cmdlet starts a compliance scan of a managed computer or host cluster. During a compliance scan, the specified managed computer or host cluster is compared against assigned baselines, and the resulting compliance state is returned.
Examples
Example 1: Scan a host against a given baseline
PS C:\> $VMHost = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost01"
PS C:\> $Compliance = Get-SCComplianceStatus -VMMManagedComputer $VMHost.ManagedComputer
PS C:\> foreach($Bsc in $Compliance.BaselineLevelComplianceStatus)`
PS C:\> {if ($Bsc.Baseline.Name -eq "Security Baseline")`
PS C:\> {$Baseline = $Bsc.Baseline; break}}
PS C:\> Start-SCComplianceScan -VMMManagedComputer $VMHost.ManagedComputer -Baseline $Baseline
The first command gets the host object named VMHost01 and stores the object in the $VMHost variable.
The second command gets the compliance status object for the host stored in $VMHost01 and stores the object in the $Compliance variable.
The next three lines use a ForEach statement to iterate through the baseline compliance status objects for the host. If the baseline named Security Baseline is found, then the fifth command stores it in the $Baseline variable.
The last command starts the compliance scan on the host, using the baseline stored in $Baseline, which in this example is Security Baseline.
