Microsoft is planning to release a tool in the near future that would scan the IT environment and find network problems. The new tool is a network planner to help administrators identify potential bottlenecks when configuring a network. It's not clear whether the new tool will help administrators during installation.
Too bad this tool was not available during our testing because it would have saved us hours trying to figure out how to circumvent an IP conflict. We think administrators are going to have a problem installing the EBS Security server on existing networks, so we recommend placing the servers on a virtual environment during installation and carefully check conflicts before deploying on individual servers.
