Prerequisites for Using the Best Practices Analyzer Tool

Before you install the Best Practices Analyzer tool for Team Foundation Server, you must have the necessary permissions and meet the system requirements. You can install and run the tool from either a client computer where Team Explorer is installed or a server where Team Foundation Server is installed. For optimal results in a dual-server deployment, you should run the tool from the application-tier server.

Permissions

To install the tool, you must be a member of the Administrators security group on the computer where you will install the tool.

To perform a scan and collect the most information about your deployment, you should have the following permissions:

  • When you log on to the computer where you will run the tool, you must use an account that is a member of the Administrators security group not only on the local computer but also the computers that you want to scan.

    You need these permissions to call the providers of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and to access the registry and the metabase for Internet Information Services (IIS).

    In dual-server or distributed deployments, you need permissions to read WMI data, and the WMI traffic port must be open on the remote servers. In dual-server or distributed environments, SQL Server, SQL Server Reporting Services, or SharePoint Products is installed on a different computer from the application-tier server. For more information about enabling WMI traffic through a firewall, see the Microsoft Web site.  

    참고

    For computers that are running Windows Server 2008, you might need to configure additional settings to handle remote connections under User Access Control (UAC). For more information, see the Microsoft Web site.

  • You must have read/write permissions to the directories from which the tool runs (the installation directory) and to which the tool writes data. For more information about the directories to which the tool writes data, see Reports and Messages that the Best Practices Analyzer Tool Generates.

  • To perform a Visual Studio Lab Management Health Check, you must run the scan from a computer where the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) Administrator Console is installed.

If any of the above conditions are not met, the tool might not apply all rules to the remote servers in the deployment, and the reports might contain "Access not available" messages. For more information, see Rule Checking Performed by the Best Practices Analyzer Tool and Access is not available.
