BPA Questions

Does BPA only read the database being scaned?
How do I print the report?
I only have a copy button, where's the print button?
Does BPA write anything to the database being scanned?
Thanks
> Does BPA only read the database being scaned?
Yes

> How do I print the report?
You can use Copy Report and paste it into Word and print from that
There is also the option to use Reporting Services to report on the results
and you can print from that, save to PDF etc
There are examples of reports that come with it

> I only have a copy button, where's the print button?
I don't think there is one (see above)

> Does BPA write anything to the database being scanned?
No

|||Hi Guys,
I was playing with the BPA and looks good but found that it does not
check for the SA password when I change it to Null or modify it to be
blank.
Is it something wrong with my machine or BPA does not check the
passwords at all.
I thought the BPA should pick up the accounts which have blank
passwords or the same name etc and this should be on the top of list
for the BPA tool to do .
Let me know your thoughts guys.
Cheers

BPA currently does not have any security checks. To do security you can use
Baseline Security Analyzer (http://www.microsoft.com/mbsa )
