Real world examples of how DSCEA can be used include
- Verify a single setting, for example if a registry key is set appropriately across your entire environment - Link to blog post
- Audit your systems to ensure that they meet the base level system configuration settings that are required to be a part of your environment
- Scan the systems in your environment against all of the items that make up your organization’s security baseline
