Virtual Machine Manager Configuration Analyzer 2008 has gone RTM
The VMMCA is a tool you can use to evaluate important configuration settings for machines that either are going to host VMM roles or are actually hosting VMM roles. The VMMCA scans the hardware and software configurations of the machines you specify, evaluates them against a set of predefined rules, and then provides you with feedback (error messages and warnings) for any configurations that are not optimal. You can think of it as being similar to “Microsoft Exchange Best Practices Analyzer”.
VMMCA can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=02d83950-c03d-454e-803b-96d1c1d5be24&displaylang=en
Before installing VMM, you can use the VMMCA to help you evaluate the configuration of machines that you might use for the following VMM roles:
• VMM server
• VMM Administrator Console
• VMM Self-Service Portal
After installing VMM, you can use the VMMCA to evaluate the configurations of machines that you are now using or might use for the VMM roles listed above, as well as machines that you are using or might use for any of the following VMM functions:
• Windows Server–based host
• VMware vCenter Server
• P2V source computer
• Operations Manager agent
Before you install the VMMCA, you must download and install the 64-bit version of Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer (MBCA). To download the MBCA, go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DB70824D-ABAE-4A92-9AA2-1F43C0FA49B3&displaylang=en
