The Exchange Best Practises Analyzer was first introduced with Exchange 2003 as a separate download. Since Exchange 2007 it has been integrated with the product.
It carries out a large number of checks against the system to verify that it is configured correctly, flagging potential configuration issues and other problems. This means it is an invaluable tool when setting up the server, and for checking a server is configured correctly in the future.

Using the Analyser
The tool is quite self explanatory and therefore no additional instructions are required. After completing a scan, it will tell you what needs to be looked at and provide you with links to explanations of the problems on the Microsoft web site.
Do not be concerned if it finds issues - many of them are things that you wouldn't know to check for and are easily corrected.
