About the Server Health Check
The Server Health Check feature lets you maintain the database and other supporting files for your SharePoint team Web site. This feature can also ensure that your site security settings are still functioning and that none of your subwebs has allowed anonymous users to modify site content. As a site administrator, you can enable or disable the Server Health Check and specify how often it occurs
The Server Health Check can perform the following checks and make repairs when it detects errors:
Synchronize database This ensures that database information matches that of the team Web site file system.
**Verify existence of webs ** This ensures that all subwebs are present.
Check roles configuration This ensures that user role settings can be enforced.
Tighten security This ensures that all the necessary team Web site files and directories are present, and that only users with the proper permissions have access to them.
Check anonymous authoring This checks the anonymous user access rights for the team Web site and all subwebs to ensure that anonymous users don't have the right to modify any content.
Note if a subweb exists on a shared folder that is not currently available, the Server Health Check will report this when the Verify existence of webs option turned on. In that case, do not use the Fix option. Doing so will cause the subweb to lose security settings and appear as a folder (not a subweb) when the shared folder becomes available again. If this problem occurs, use FrontPage 2002 to re-establish the folder as a subweb.
About the SharePoint team Web site database
SharePoint Team Services relies on a SQL server database to store information such as:
List data, including information about Events, Announcements, Tasks, Contacts, and other lists in a team Web site.
Document library information about properties, such as document title, date, and size.
Discussion and subscription data, such as subscription information and the actual threaded comments from Web document discussions.
Security data, such as who is allowed to view and change site information.
Each virtual server has its own database. Webs and subwebs on the same virtual server share a database, although their information is stored in separate tables within the database.
On the Site Administration page, under Server Health, click Change server health settings.
In the Enable Server Healtharea, select On or Off.
If Server Health Checking is enabled, in the Recurrence Settingsarea, specify how often you want the Server Health Check to occur.
Click Submit.
Notes
If you don't see the Change server health settings option, you are probably in a subweb and need to go to the top-level Web site of the server or virtual server. See your network administrator or ISP for more information.
You can run a Server Health Check any time using the Check server health option on the Site Administration page.
