Quest Software has announced a new administration tool for SharePoint, Quest Server Administrator for SharePoint.

It allows administrators to view SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2007 server configurations, settings and customisations, and compare them to best practices to identify risks and optimise SharePoint performance.

The tool also helps ensure that existing SharePoint 2007 environments are ready to upgrade to SharePoint 2010.

The built-in graphical reports show what is ready to upgrade, and what is not, across all SharePoint farms. The reports also provide a rating so critical issues can be corrected before upgrade.
