Using Best Practices Analyzers
The Windows Best Practices Analyzer is a system management tool included with Server 2012. These analyzers contain the best practices defined for several server roles and features. These best practices include multiple aspects of the system, including performance, reliability, and security. The analyzer scans the system for these best practices and generates a report on the system's compliance level.
In this recipe, we will be scanning a system using the FileServices Best Practices Analyzer. Multiple analyzers are included with Windows by default, however they will only return results if the appropriate feature is installed. The basic storage services role is included by default with Windows Server and should run for all environments.
