The topics in this section explain how to bring Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) into compliance with operation best practices.

Best Practices Analyzer and operation rules
The Best Practices Analyzer applies operation rules to identify best-practice-related, possible causes of a server role’s failure to carry out its prescribed tasks in an enterprise. An example of a violation of operation rules that a Best Practices Analyzer scan might find is a service that is paused or stopped.
