In Configuration Manager 2007, the BaselineType complex type defines the baseline configuration item. This has no parts or settings, but rather defines seven categorizations of other configuration items for composition purposes. The categorizations are: RequiredItems, ProhibitedItems, OptionalItems, OperatingSystems, SoftwareUpdates, Baselines and OtherConfigurationItems. The following source indicates what kinds of configuration items can be referenced to form the various categorizations.

Child Elements

Element	Type	Description
Baselines		Lists other baselines that will be checked for compliance as part of the compliance check for the baseline described by the parent element. If any of these baselines are non-compliant, this leads to non-compliance on the referencing baseline.
OperatingSystems		Lists Operating System configuration items, exactly one of which must be present and properly configured on the target computer. If exactly one is not present, this leads to non-compliance on the baseline.
OptionalItems		Lists all Application configuration items that are optional and may exist on the target computer. If discovered, the Application must be properly configured. Otherwise this leads to non-compliance on the baseline.
OtherConfigurationItems		Externally defined Service Modeling Language (SML) items. This allows them to be called out in a way recognizable by the Configuration Manager user interface.
ProhibitedItems		Lists all Application configuration items that are prohibited and must therefore not be present on the target computer. If any of the configuration items are present, this leads to non-compliance on the baseline.
RequiredItems		Lists all Application and BusinessRule configuration items that are required and therefore must be present and properly configured on the target computer. If any of the configuration items are not present or improperly configured, this leads to non-compliance on the baseline.
SoftwareUpdates		Reserved for internal use.

Attributes

Name	Type	Description
AuthoringScopeId	xs:Name	The unique identity of the author for this configuration item.
LogicalName	tns:LogicalName	The unique identity of the configuration item within the authoring scope.
Version	unsignedInt	The version number of the configuration item.
