SBS Best Practice Analyzer

For the customers and Partners of the small businesses who attend our Midmarket events, I wanted to ensure that you knew that the SBS BPA is available. It released a couple of weeks ago but just in case you have not seen it, this is a great resource for your environment.

The Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 Best Practices Analyzer examines a server that is running Windows Small Business Server 2003 (Windows SBS) and presents a list of information and errors that administrators should review.

It examines the server and collects configuration information from many sources including:
• Active Directory Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
• Registry
• Metabase

After collecting information about server configuration, the SBS Best Practices Analyzer verifies that the information is correct and then presents administrators with a list of issues sorted by severity.
