After installation of our first System Center product we are ready to test our configuration using Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer (MBCA). We need to download and install MBCA and Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1 Configuration Analyzer that is essentially add-on for the MBCA that contains all current baselines. Do not install it on one of your servers because first you need to install .NET Framework 2.0 and you do not want to increase attack surface and amount of the security patches on any of your servers.
- Install .NET Framework 2.0
- Install Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer (MBCA) 2.1
- Install Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1 Configuration Analyzer
- And start the scan.
