Hyper-V Best Practices Analyzer

Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) is a server management tool that is available in Windows Server 2008 R2. BPA reports best practice violations to the administrator after BPA scans the roles that are installed on Windows Server 2008 R2. Administrators can filter out unnecessary information or exclude results from BPA reports. Administrators can also perform BPA tasks with either the Server Manager GUI, or Windows PowerShell cmdlets. For more information about Best Practices Analyzer and scans, see the Best Practices Analyzer Help.

When you select the entry for Hyper-V under the Roles node you should see a new section called Best Practice Analyzer:

Here you can select to scan the Hyper-V role and see how you are going against common best practices. One other neat feature of the Best Practice Analyzer is the ability to exclude results.  This way you can remove best practices that you do not believe apply to your environment – so you will not have to deal with a large number of unnecessary errors / warnings.
