Exchange Server Best Practices Analyzer

Posted on September 24th, 2004 in w_exchange, windows

The Exchange Server Best Practices Analyzer represents the individual knowledge of Microsoft engineers, information about product support issues, and best practices guidelines. This knowledge is transferred into a series of eXtensible Markup Language (XML) rules that can be run against deployments of Microsoft Exchange to deliver a thorough health and status check on the system — perhaps exposing hidden configuration problems that will become critical issues later or identifying errors that can be more easily corrected now than later. The tool operates from a remote workstation — it is not necessary to load the analyzer software onto the Exchange server itself.
