Step #1 – Login to Repository
• Authenticate against SQL Server
containing your repository of rules
• Created at installation
Step #2 – Add SQL Servers
• Create list of SQL Server that you want
to analyze now or in the future
• BPA will scan all databases on a given
server (including system databases)
Step #3 – Create Sets of Rules
•
•
•
•
•
Determine which rules to apply
Can create one large group of rules
Or can create small sets of rules
Some rules require parameters
Different rule sets can have different
parameters
Step #4 – Scan Servers
• Rules applied to servers
• Results show where databases are
compliant and where they are not
• Results saved as “reports” that can be
reviewed, printed, or deleted
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer
• Built to scan servers for known security
issues
• Scans the following areas:
–
–
–
–
–
Security updates
Windows vulnerabilities
Password strength
IIS vulnerabilities
SQL Server vulnerabilities
Step #1 – Specify Server(s)
• Specify server to scan
– Name or IP address
• Specify report name
• Choose scanning options
Step #2 – Review Reports
•
•
•
•
•
Report shows categories of scan results
Sort by various options
Review what was scanned and results
Review corrective actions
Reports saved as .xml files
