When you are managing a Windows operating system, best practices are guidelines that are defined by experts as the ideal way, under normal circumstances, to configure a server. Although best practice violations, even critical ones, are not necessarily problematic, they indicate server configurations that can result in poor performance, poor reliability, unexpected conflicts, increased security risks, or other potential problems.

Topics in this section can help you bring File Services running on Windows Server® 2008 R2 into compliance with best practices. Content in this section is most valuable to administrators who have completed a Best Practices Analyzer scan of File Services, and who want information about how to interpret and resolve the scan results that identify areas of File Services that are noncompliant with best practices.
