Microsoft Commerce Server 2007 Best Practices Analyzer Released!
Received this message from John Inman who is the CS PM covering supportability.
John mentioned that the analyzer tool and its engine allow dynamic updates to the CommerceBPA rule-set (the tool can update itself with new rules when they are made available).

"The Microsoft Commerce Server Best Practices Analyzer performs configuration level verification, by reading and reporting only. For example, the Best Practices Analyzer gathers data from Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes, Microsoft SQL Server databases, registry entries, IIS Metabase Settings, and other parts of your deployment, and uses the gathered data to determine whether best practices are being followed. The Best Practices Analyzer does not modify any system settings, and is therefore not a self-tuning tool."
