Best
Practice Analyzers are free tools available for most Microsoft Enterprise
products and they are used to determine the overall health of your platform.
The tools
perform read only scans against your environment’s servers and identify items
that do not conform to Microsoft best practices.
They should
be run on a regular basis as part of your standard operations maintenance plan.
I’ve put
together a list (see below) of available Best Practice Analyzers to help you
get started.
Once you
run the tools against your platform, if you identify items of concern that
you’d like assistance resolving, please contact me and I can help you decide on
the best Premier Support service available to help you eg. Logging a case, a
full risk assessment analysis and report, Premier Field engineer remediation
program etc.
