A system administrator wants to view the results of the Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) for their local server. Which Windows built-in tool can they use?

The Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) is a tool designed to help system administrators identify potential configuration issues and best practices related to the management of Windows Server. To view the results of the BPA for a local server, the most appropriate and direct tool to use is Server Manager.

Server Manager is a built-in management console within Windows Server that provides a centralized platform for managing and monitoring server roles and features. Within this console, administrators can access BPA results easily. This integration allows for quick assessments of a server's configuration against Microsoft's recommended best practices, enabling administrators to make informed decisions about necessary changes or improvements.

Other listed tools serve different purposes. For example, Activity Monitor is mainly used for monitoring system performance and resource usage, whereas Resource Monitor provides details on resource consumption by processes and services. Security Compliance Manager is focused on helping organizations manage their security configurations and compliance settings. While these tools provide valuable functionalities, they do not specifically interface with or display BPA results, thereby making Server Manager the best choice for this particular task.
