When you start Best Practices Analyzer, the tool provides you with an option to search for the latest updates to the tool. If an update is available, you can download the update. If you choose not to download updates, or if Best Practices Analyzer cannot access the Internet, you can continue to use the version that is already on the computer.

Note

If you need proxy authentication to access the Internet, Best Practices Analyzer cannot access new updates for you to download. However, you can manually download the latest version of RtcBPA.msi from the Microsoft Download Center at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkId=266539. After downloading the file, you can copy it to the computer on which you want to update Best Practices Analyzer and use the .msi file to install the new version of the tool on that computer.

To update Best Practices Analyzer rules, you must run the tool as an Administrator on the local computer. If you are not logged on using an account that is a member of the Administrators group and updates are detected, close Best Practices Analyzer, and then use the following procedure to start the program.

  1. On a computer on which Best Practices Analyzer is installed, click Start, point to Microsoft Lync Server 2013, right-click Best Practices Analyzer, and then click Run as administrator.
