  • Deployment Configuration
  • Development/Customization Best Practices
  • Performance

Each SharePoint Health Check consists of four distinct stages:

Stage 1: Discussion (half a day)
Interview the deployment team to discuss architecture or design and intended use of SharePoint.

Stage 2: Configuration and Log Scraping (1 day)
Collect Event Viewer logs, web.configs, and IIS logs. This time can also be used to cover any current or recurring issues.

Stage 3: Performance (1 day)
Collect data with Perfmon and run SPReport to obtain analysis of the current usage of SharePoint.

Stage 4: Data Analysis and Reporting
After completing the health check, the collected information is analyzed. A report is compiled with the findings, including the description of risks and recommended mitigation procedures. If time and internal processes delay the resolution of problems, further assistance can be scheduled for a later date.
