This section describes the recommended hardening guidelines that are required to harden
Windows system using Microsoft Windows to run the Process Orchestrator, and to make
additional changes to harden its configuration. If your system has additional hardening steps,
changes are required for the Process Orchestrator to work.
For hardening Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2012, the Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) server
management tool, is installed by default on all editions of Windows Server 2008 R2 and
Windows Server 2012, except the Server Core installation option, can be used.
The BPA server management tool helps administrator to reduce best practice violations by
scanning one or more roles that are installed on your Windows Server and reports best practice
violations to the administrator.

Applications that are not included with Windows Server 2008 R2 have a separate BPA for
optimizing and hardening applications. These BPAs run on the Microsoft Baseline Configuration
