The root element for any DCM Digest document is the DesiredConfigurationDigest element referenced below.  All of the XML elements/attributes are defined in the DCM Digest schema definition namespace.

<!-- 
Every digest must contain exactly one configuration item. Specifically one of the following: an application, operatingsystem, general or baseline.
This is a baseline configuration item.
The baseline configuration item provides a way to group other configuration items (including other baselines) for deployment to clients. Other types of configuration items cannot be directly deployed to clients, they must be referenced within a baseline configuration item, which is then deployed to clients.

The unique identify of the configuration item is the combination of the attributes AuthoringScopeID, LogicalName and Version. 
Each attribute is part of the unique identity of the configuration item; the actual identity is AuthoringScopeID + LogicalName + Version.

AuthoringScopeID (string) - This attribute corresponds to the author’s namespace or identity.
LogicalName (string) - This attribute identifies the configuration item within the authoring scope.
Version (string) - This attribute specifies the version of the configuration item.

Only application and general configuration item references can be used in the RequiredItems section.

Below is a reference to an application configuration item that checks to see whether the Configuration Manager 2007 client is installed on the system. The application configuration item can be found in the Application Configuration Item Schema Example 1 (link below)

Only application configuration items can appear in OptionalItems.

Below is a reference to an application configuration item that checks to see whether Notepad.exe is installed on the system. The application configuration item can be found in the Application Configuration Item Schema Example 2 (link below)

Only operating system configuration items can appear in OperatingSystems.  
At least one of the operating systems in the referenced OperationSystem configuration items must be detected on the targeted machine.

<!-- 
Only SoftwareUpdates and SoftwareUpdateBundles can appear in SoftwareUpdates. Software Updates configuration items are created and administered through the Software Updates Management feature in Configuration Manager. The Software Updates configuration items can be referenced in configuration baselines; however, they should not be directly authored via DCM or the DCM Digest.
