At last a Web Update Pack for ExBPA. You can get it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4F2F1339-CBCD-4D26-9174-F30C10D7EC4C&displaylang=en
Basically this download contains the latest XML and ExBPA.chm files. Use this package to update your existing installation of the Exchange Best Practices Analyzer.
You only need to apply it (if like almost every production server in the world) the server does not have internet access to download the update automatically.
It’s 3,348kb and contains 6 files
eula.rtf
ExBPA.chm
ExBPA.Config.xml -> v2.11.18.0
ExBPA.Permissions.xml -> 2.6.2.1
ExBPA.Readiness.xml -> 2.8.5.0
ExBPA.Transport.xml -> 2.6.1.2
So typically, on an Exchange 2007 Server, you will drop these in to C:Program FilesMicrosoftExchange ServerBinen
What is STRANGE is that if you have an Exchange Server 2007 on the Internet the latest files are as follows:
ExBPA.config.xml -> 12.11.15.0
ExBPA.E12.UnifiedMessaging.xml -> 12.0.1.0
ExBPA.Readiness.xml -> 2.8.4.0
ExDRA.Config.xml -> 1.5.3.0
ExMFA.Config.xml -> 1.2.19.0
ExTRA.config.xml -> 1.0.0.2
So what does one do? The ExBPA.config.xml is a totally different version? Should you apply it? Should I update everything except ExBPA.config.xml?
WHY do two different versions exist?
