How to Use Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer 2.0 to Verify System Settings

Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer (MBCA) 2.0 is a tool that helps you analyze and assess the configuration settings of your Microsoft products. It can help you identify potential security risks, performance issues, and best practices violations.

In this article, we will show you how to use MBCA 2.0 to verify the system settings of your Dynamics AX 2012 installation. You will need to download and install the MBCA 2.0 tool and the Dynamics AX 2012 models from the Microsoft website. Then, you will be able to run a scan and view the results in a report.

After installing MBCA 2.0, you also need to download and install the Dynamics AX 2012 models that correspond to the components of your Dynamics AX installation. The models are available from the Microsoft Download Center. The models include:

Dynamics AX Application Object Server (AOS)

You need to install the models on the same computer where the corresponding Dynamics AX component is installed.

If prompted, enter the credentials of an administrator account on that computer.

Wait for the scan to complete.

Step 3: View the Scan Results in a Report

After running a scan with MBCA 2.0, you can view the results in a report that shows the configuration settings of your Dynamics AX components and compares them with the Microsoft-recommended settings[^1^]. The report also provides guidance on how to fix any issues or deviations from the best practices.
