Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP)
The Microsoft® Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit helps you understand your current IT infrastructure and determine the right Microsoft technologies for your IT needs. It is a powerful inventory, assessment, and reporting tool that can securely inventory small or large IT environments without requiring the installation of any agent software in your environment. The data and analysis that this tool provides can significantly simplify the planning process for a wide range of migration projects.
The Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit is an agentless toolkit that finds computers on a network and performs a detailed inventory of the computers using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and the Remote Registry Service. The data and analysis provided by this toolkit can significantly simplify the planning process for migrating to newer versions of Windows Server. Assessments for Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Vista include device driver availability as well as recommendations for hardware upgrades.
Once the toolkit has identified the Windows 2000 Servers in the environment, individual plans can be made for each server. With the information provided by the MAP tool, administrators can begin to plan research and test on various hardware, drivers, and software in the Windows 2000 Servers to be migrated.
