The QA audits arose from the need to verify the setup of new Windows servers for different customers and their different environments.

Most of these additional tools and configurations should be installed/performed automatically. However, checks are still required to ensure that each customer or environment gets its specific settings. The tools for different versions of Windows Server are available for this purpose. Supported are Windows Server 2008 R1/R2 (PowerShell 4 must be installed, Windows Server 2012 R1/R2 and Windows Server 2016.
