System Center Mobile Device Manager (MDM) 2008 Best Practices Analyzer Tool helps you analyze a group of servers to determine if the prerequisites and best practices are met for MDM deployment.

MDM Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) Tool helps you to analyze the prerequisites for MDM setup and deployment. Because each MDM server component has different prerequisites, the tool helps you to plan and build a successful deployment environment by assessing each server's readiness for MDM before you run MDM Setup.

In addition to analyzing each server's individual readiness, BPA Tool helps you to verify the firewall configuration that MDM requires between servers running MDM Device Management Server and servers running MDM Gateway Server.

Finally, after you deploy MDM, you can run a post-deployment scan to help make sure your installation works properly and follows MDM best practices.

To learn about additional MDM tools, see MDM Resource Kit Tools.
