Version: Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.1

"A must for Network Admins"

by virgo70 on July 24, 2009

Pros: A one stop, first line of defense program from Microsoft. Helps as a second check to make sure Windows is configured correctly. Identifies any common misconfigurations and some not so common. Helps from forgetting in a massive rollout.

Cons: Nothing yet

Summary: I use this product exclusively on all machines I work on. Takes out any guesswork in misconfigurations and security vulnerabilities. Works seamlessly with all updates and configurations. No problems noted.
