Over the last couple of years Microsoft has begun creating Best Practices Analyzers. The first one I believe was released as a non-supported tool for Exchange Server 2003 as what seemed to be at the time almost a whim. Fortunately people saw very quickly how important a tool like this (especially a free tool) could be. So much so that now the Exchange BPA is a part of the product.
Microsoft has just released a Group Policy BPA tool to analyze your GPO environment and individual GP to make sure that you have stable environment that will reliabily enforce policies on your users and computers connected to Active Directory. There are four versions on the tool depending on what platform you wish to run the tool on.
