Description of MS Baseline Security Analyzer:
The Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer is a very userful tool that provides you with a fairly comprehensive analysis of the security status of your computer. It can be use locally, or to check out another machine on the network. It assesses whether your system is patched, the strength of the passwords you are using, whether your Guest account is active, and other Windows configuration settings.
The tool generates a nice report that highlights those areas that represent a security weakness. What's more, it provides information on how to correct any security deficiencies.
Basic Instructions for use:
