So far, we created compliance rules for machine group compliance, that is, for Windows and Linux. Now, we will create a rule for virtual environment compliance. We can't continue with our example of minimum password length in this virtual world, so we will change it to another requirement we have, that is, the snapshot for a VM should not be retained for more than 10 days.
So, let's start and see how many VMs are noncompliant with our rule by first creating one.
We need a rule group created to store the virtualization compliance rules in a fully deployed and functional VCM server.
Like our previous experience with rules, this one can also be copied from another standard pack if you know where to copy from; the process is similar to that for Windows rules, so we will not repeat it here.
We will start creating a new rule using the following steps:
Once again, we need to log in to VCM with admin privileges and reach...
