Scenario: You have established a baseline using Windows Server Update Services You would like to check the compliance status of all VMM servers. Where can you find this information in VMM Console?

In the Fabric ribbon, on the Servers node, select "Compliance".

At what point is a Hyper-V host considered to be managed by a VMM instance?

It is only managed by VMM after it has been successfully added via the VMM Console.

What does the "Remediate" command do in the Fabric ribbon while on the Servers node?

It provides the option to install missing updates or to override the baseline used for compliance when a machine is found to be non-compliant.
