Does the Microsoft Exchange Best Practices Analyzer tool focus on Security of MS Exchange or just performance?

Hi, You can choose between the following in EXBPA for scan: Health Check Permissions Check Connectivity Test Baseline Exchange 2007 Readiness Check http://www.exchangeinbox.com/article.aspx?i=97 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=dbab201f-4bee-4943-ac22-e2ddbd258df3&displaylang=en#RelatedLinks Anil

Do you happen to know which parts of security it checks?

Hi Not exactly understand what do you mean by security, may be you mean the OS security, or the cecurity of the exchange server roles connection security or other things? Per my known, it will check the potential configuration, performance, and disaster recovery problems in an Exchange Server messaging topology, it would collects settings and values from data repositories such as Active Directory, registry, metabase and performance monitor and so on. So, in some way, there are would many things related with security, such as Health Check, Permissions Check, Connectivity Test. Regards! gavin
