An OpenManage Enterprise administrator has been tasked to enforce server configuration policies on 2,000 servers using six different configuration…

To enforce server configuration policies on multiple servers using different configuration profiles, one

valid method is to clone an existing template. Cloning allows administrators to take a pre-existing

template that closely matches the desired configuration and make necessary adjustments to create a

new compliance template. Here’s how it can be done:

Access OpenManage Enterprise: Log into the OpenManage Enterprise console with administrative

privileges.

Navigate to Templates: Go to the section where server templates are managed.

Select a Template: Choose an existing template that is closest to the desired configuration for the

compliance policy.

Clone the Template: Use the option to clone the selected template. This will create a new template

with the same configuration settings.

Modify the Template: Make any necessary changes to the cloned template to meet the specific

requirements of the compliance policy.

Save the New Template: Save the newly created compliance template.

Apply the Template: Deploy the compliance template to the servers to enforce the configuration

policies.

Cloning an existing template is a time-saving approach that leverages the work already done on

previous configurations. It ensures consistency across server configurations and simplifies the

management of multiple servers1.

For more detailed instructions on creating and managing server templates in OpenManage

Enterprise, administrators can refer to the official Dell OpenManage documentation2.
