We send a consultant out to perform a series of tests specifically designed to evaluate the operation of your system. I'll blog about this today over at http://blogs.msdn.com/buckwoody.

That's a fair question, but it's like asking a patient, "Well, how did the doctor give you a health check? What did he use to do it?" The patient isn't in a position to understand what the doctor knows. However, I can tell you that the process involved two things: a lot of questions from Microsoft about our environment, and some very comprehensive scripts from Microsoft to evaluate our servers. Every script I saw was really impressive, and they did nail down some great findings. If you've got more questions about exactly how a health check is performed, consider contacting your Microsoft TAM and getting more information. They'll be able to give you the rundown. If you don't have a TAM, you're not able to get a health check, but you could contact a company like <a href="http://solidq.com" rel="nofollow">Solid Quality Mentors</a> to do a health check for you.
