ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft is talking up a number of goodies for server infrastructure customers this month. They include a new version of the Exchange Best Practices Analyzer Tool, new customer guidance on isolating servers and domains for security and a new version of the iSCSI Software Initiator.
Additionally, Microsoft announced licensing and partnering agreements with Symbian, AppSense, Aruba and Bluesocket that should yield future interoperability dividends for customers.
The Exchange Best Practices Analyzer is a tool to help administrators identify and resolve configuration problems in the messaging server. First released in September, Microsoft says there have been 200,000 downloads so far of ExBPA. Version 2.0 brings full support for Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 and adds eight language versions. The download is available here.
