check your system against several policy files during one audit. If the
administrator of this product created an Audit-on-Connect scope that contains
your system, you may use this method to start an audit on your system. Audit
results are automatically recorded for review and reporting.
If the administrator of this product did not create an Audit-on-Connect scope that
contains your system, you can only select Self-audit using a specific policy file.
3. A security warning appears, alerting you that you need to install WebAudit before you
proceed with the self-service audit. Click Yes to install WebAudit.
WebAudit is an ActiveX component required for self-service auditing. It remains in the
browser's cache, so you won't need to install it again unless you clear the cache and then
perform another self-service audit.
You cannot perform a self-service audit without this component. If you click No, you
won't be able to complete the audit.
4. If you clicked Self-audit using a specific policy file on the Audit Your Local System
page, select a policy file from the Use this Policy File list. Then click Audit Now to perform the
self audit.
The audit compares this policy file against your system.
5. If a Permit Server Audit message appears, click the Yes button to continue.
If you clicked Self-audit using a specific policy file on the Audit Your Local System
page, the audit results display directly on the page. Click a rule link in the Description
column to learn more about that rule. You may use the button bar to perform operations
on the audit results.
If you clicked Self-audit against a list of policy files that apply to your
computer on the Audit Your Local System page, only a cumulative posture result
displays on the page. No detailed audit results appear.
