Running the BPA

When you finish migrating your settings and data to Windows SBS 2011 Standard, you should run Microsoft® Windows® Small Business Server 2011 Best Practices Analyzer.

 Windows SBS 2011 BPA examines a server that is running Windows SBS 2011 Standard, and then it presents a list of issues, errors, and other information, which are sorted by severity, that you should review. The list describes each issue, and it provides a recommendation about what you should do to resolve the issue. The recommendations are developed by the product support organization for Windows SBS 2011 Standard.

For more information about Windows SBS 2011 BPA, see Using the Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Best Practices Analyzer (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=207300 ).
To download Windows SBS 2011 BPA, go to the Microsoft Download Center (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=206767 ).

So if you are wondering why the BPA is a little... well ... it makes you think it didn't run at all... hang loose as there's an all encompassing BPA being built that will BPA Aurora, SBS v7 (aka SBS 2011 standard) and Breckinridge (Storage Server).

So if you think the BPA didn't run... it did... stay tuned as there will be updates in this area.

I wish it was easier to figure out how to get help from MS. Both the links in this article are broken. I noticed you have them becuase they are alos broken all over the MS site and I have no idea where to report such a thing or how to find the BPA. (Search results in Bing and MS site search point at the same erronious URL.)

They've pulled the bpa and will be re-releasing it.
