Using System Checker
You can start System Checker by running the Active Roles System Checker application from the Start menu or Apps page, depending upon your version of the Windows operating system.
From the System Checker main window, you can perform the following tasks:
-
To check your computer, click System Readiness Checks, then select the appropriate Active Roles version for which to perform the checks.
-
To check a particular SQL Server instance, click SQL Server Checks and specify the SQL Server instance to check. You can also specify the authentication method and connection credentials for access to the SQL Server instance.
-
To check a particular Active Directory domain or a particular Domain Controller (DC), click Active Directory Checks and specify the name of the domain or the name of the DC. You can also specify connection credentials for access to the domain or DC.
System Checker then creates a report of the selected action, and displays it in its report viewer. Reports are divided into sections, each of which represents the results of a single check. If a report section includes any errors or warning messages, you can view the messages by expanding the section in the report viewer.
The report viewer also allows you to:
-
Print the report.
-
Export the report to an HTML file, so that you can open the report in a web browser later.
-
Save the report to a report file, so that you can open the saved report in the report viewer later.
-
Open a saved report by clicking Open in the main menu of System Checker, and selecting the report file.
-
Rebuild the report, and optionally also changing the report options.
To rebuild the report, click Recheck on the toolbar of the report viewer.
Using the Log Viewer tool
