Roles that support BPA scans in Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta include the following:
When scans find aspects of a role that are not compliant with best practices, you can open the noncompliant scan results, read more about what’s not compliant, and click links to open step-by-step guidance on the Web that helps you bring your role into compliance.
