Best Practices Analyzer for Dynamics NAV 2009
The Best Practices Analyzer for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 is a tool for identifying issues that can prevent you from successfully deploying a three-tier environment of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009.

The Best Practices Analyzer for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 performs the following verifications:

• Verifies that an appropriate version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server is installed. Only Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 is supported
• Verifies Microsoft Dynamics NAV connection strings.
• Verifies that the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server service, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web services service, and the SQL Server service, which are required for Microsoft Dynamics NAV, are running.
• Checks database permissions to make sure that the required resources can connect to the database.
• Verifies that the necessary service principal names (SPN) have been created and correctly configured on the account that is running the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server service.

Is there such a thing as a Best Practices Analyzer for Dynamics NAV 5? Or anything similar, besides the C/AL Programming Guide?

Thanks,

It's a bit funny (and also confusing) that the R2 update .exe contains actually all that the SP1 contains and that only the NavBPA.config.xml and NavBPA.chm have changed. Why does the R2 update not only contain these two?
