How to Assign Configuration Baselines
Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2
In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, to assign a configuration baseline to a collection, an assignment instance is created, populated with a minimum set of required values, and saved.
Example
The following code examples show how to create an instance of a baseline assignment.
For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.
Sub DCMCreateAssignment(swbemServices, _
baselineID, _
applyToSubTargets, _
assignmentAction, _
assignmentName, _
assignmentDescription, _

distributionPointLocality, _
evaluationSchedule, _
logComplianceToWinEvent, _
notifyUser, _
sendDetailedNonComplianceStatus, _
startTime, _
suppressReboot, _
targetCollectionID, _
useGMTTimes)
' Create new assignment object.
set newAssignment = swbemServices.Get("SMS_BaselineAssignment").SpawnInstance_()
' Assign variable values to assignment properties.
' //
' // The following properties are set by the provider on put():
' // AssignmentID
' // AssignmentUniqueID
' // SourceSite
' // CreationTime
newAssignment.ApplyToSubTargets = applyToSubTargets
