Recent updates to the Client Security Best Practice Analyzer

At the end of last week we published additions to the FCS BPA. The revisions are again described in KB976986. The new checks are focused on database related issues including:

• Database sizing
• DTS job failures
• Last backup times
• Threat metadata problems

As promised in our last BPA announcement, it also contains usability improvements like a start menu shortcut and status bars during scanning.

To test drive the new additions, visit the download center.

Thanks, and happy analyzing,
