Also new in v12 is the Best Practice Analyzer in VBR console.

 

 

In Beta2 there are 6 tests divided into two categories: Security settings and product configuration. The individual points are self-explanatory.

 

 

I hope that more and more tests will be added to this feature in next versions.

Good questions, I cannot answer ๐Ÿ˜‚ At the moment it looks just like the screenshot. Also didnโ€™t find  an appropriate PowerShell command.

Wow @vNote42! This is really a very great feature, and I am glad this feature is embedded within. Best practices are important to avoid trials etc! This will guarantee good outcome...

I really like this feature but wish it showed links to maybe a KB or help section for the issue to explain it more.

Yes, maybe we get something like the vCenter Health in a future release ๐Ÿ˜

Wow, this is so cool addition ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘.

It would be even better if the result can be sent as an email or PDF report.

Agree. Instead of โ€œcopy to clipboardโ€.

Have you ever tested Remote Desktop Service (TermService) check?

However, nothing on analyzer after disable the service.

Service needs to be Disabled! Manual is not enough!

Hello guys, sorry to reopen this conversation, is it correct that the analyzer check only the startup type of the service and not also the status?

It seems so obvious to me, but shouldn't the best practice be "disabled and stopped"?

I hope i didn't say something already addressed, nor something stupid.. ๐Ÿ˜

Hopefully it checks both. You could always reboot before running the analyzer to confirm anything disabled didnโ€™t start at boot.

I was going to test this but am in the middle of some modifications to my lab, and donโ€™t want to play with services on production at the moment ๐Ÿ˜‚
