Today (May 5, 2011) I will be presenting on Presenting on Best Practices Analyzer using Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer at . I will be presenting on following subjects.
The tools which I will be using in the demonstration are following:
- Engine – Backups outdated for databases

Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer 2.0
Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer 2.0 (MBCA 2.0) can help you maintain optimal system configuration by analyzing configurations of your computers against a predefined set of best practices, and reporting results of the analyses.
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 Best Practices Analyzer
The Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 BPA is a diagnostic tool that performs the following functions:
- Gathers information about a Server and a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or 2008 R2 instance installed on that Server
- Determines if the configurations are set according to the recommended best practices
- Reports on all configurations, indicating settings that differ from recommendations
- Indicates potential problems in the installed instance of SQL Server
- Recommends solutions to potential problems

I downloaded Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer 2.0 and installed in Microsoft Window Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
I have Microsoft Window Server 2008 R2 Enterprise that install SQL Server 2008 R2.
Then, I download and installed the Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer 2.0.
The MBCA cannot connect to local or remote SQL Server.
Note: I configured my SQL Server 2008 R2 as follow:
VM-Machine01\SP2010 on port 5555.
Can someone please help on this?
