Sample plan: Dynamically Run All Baselines from a Site and Restart the Endpoints

This sample Automation Plan runs all of the Baselines contained in a site against a set of endpoints that you target. After that step has completed, the second step in the automation plan restarts all of the endpoints targeted in the first step. Add the Baselines that you want to execute to a custom site before running this plan. All sample plans are read-only. To use a sample plan, you must copy, re-name, and save it and then use the copy.
