How to View Compliance Results in the Configuration Manager Console
Use this procedure to view details about the compliance of deployed certificate profiles in the Configuration Manager console.
Note
To monitor SCEP certificate compliance do not use the Configuration Manager console, rather, use reports as described in How to View Compliance Results by Using Reports. Specifically, use these certificate reports under the report node Company Resource Access:
-
Certificate issuance history
-
List of assets with certificates nearing expiry
-
List of assets by certificate issuance status
To view compliance results in the Configuration Manager console
-
In the Configuration Manager console, click Monitoring.
-
In the Monitoring workspace, click Deployments.
-
In the Deployments list, select the certificate profile deployment for which you want to review compliance information.
-
You can review summary information about the compliance of the certificate profile on the main page. To view more detailed information, select the certificate profile, and then on the Home tab, in the Deployment group, click View Status to open the Deployment Status page.
The Deployment Status page contains the following tabs:
- **Compliant**: Displays the compliance of the certificate profile based on the number of assets that are affected. You can double-click a rule to create a temporary node under the **Users** node in the **Assets and Compliance** workspace. This node contains all users that are compliant with the certificate profile. The **Asset Details** pane also displays the users that are compliant with this profile. Double-click a user in the list to display additional information. <div class="alert"> > [!IMPORTANT] > <P>A certificate profile is not evaluated if it is not applicable on a client device. However, it is returned as compliant.</P> </div> - **Error**: Displays a list of all errors for the selected certificate profile deployment based on the number of assets that are affected. You can double-click a rule to create a temporary node under the **Users** node of the **Assets and Compliance** workspace. This node contains all users that generated errors with this profile. When you select a user, the **Asset Details** pane displays the users that are affected by the selected issue. Double-click a user in the list to display additional information about the issue. - **Non-Compliant**: Displays a list of all noncompliant rules within the certificate profile based on the number of assets that are affected. You can double-click a rule to create a temporary node under the **Users** node of the **Assets and Compliance** workspace. This node contains all users that are not compliant with this profile. When you select a user, the **Asset Details** pane displays the users that are affected by the selected issue. Double-click a user in the list to display further information about the issue. - **Unknown**: Displays a list of all users that did not report compliance for the selected certificate profile deployment together with the current client status of the devices. -
On the Deployment Status page, you can review detailed information about the compliance of the deployed certificate profile. A temporary node is created under the Deployments node that helps you find this information again quickly.
