Remote management means never being very far away...

Exchange Server 2003 Best Practices Analyzer Tool
Microsoft have just updated their Exchange Server Best Practices Analyzer tool to version 2.5. This version increase mainly reflects the fact that this tool now provides multi-language support.

The Best Practices Analyzer is IMHO one of the best free tools that Microsoft have ever produced. I have already solved an open issue with the CM Group Exchange Server with this tool (messages getting stuck in the SMTP queues), and have taken pre-emptive steps to improve reliability on several other Exchange servers that I manage remotely.

If you haven't done so already, download and run this tool ASP - you will be surprised by what it can find.

There's another couple of tools from the same stable that I haven't had time to look at yet, but they sound very good as well.

The Microsoft Exchange Server Disaster Recovery Analyzer tool v1.0, and the Microsoft Exchange Server Performance Troubleshooting Analyzer Tool v1.0 build on the framework of the ExBPA for more specific information on DR and troubleshooting.

Hey, I wonder if the DR tool has a special attachment that slaps admins who didn't back up the night before, and also slaps them if they don't do a trial restore at least twice a year.
