Best Practices Analyzer and performance rules

Performance rules are applied to measure a role’s ability to process requests and, within expected periods of time given the role’s workload, to perform its prescribed duties in the enterprise. Conditions that can affect whether violations of performance rules are found by a Best Practices Analyzer scan include the following:

  • The number of other roles in addition to WSUS that are running on the computer.

  • The volume of network traffic in the enterprise.

  • The number of users or other computers that are served by the role.
