28.0 Health Check Utility

The DRA Health Check Utility is a standalone application that is packaged with the DRA installation kit. You use the Health Check Utility post install, and pre and post upgrade, to verify, validate, and inform the status of components and processes for the DRA Server, the DRA Web Site, and DRA Clients. You can also use it to install or update a product license, to back up the AD LDS Instance prior to a product upgrade, to view descriptions of the checks, and to fix issues or identify actions that need to be taken to fix issues and then re-validate them.

The Health Check Utility is accessible in the DRA program folder after executing the NetIQAdminInstallationKit.msi installer.

You can run the Health Check Utility at any time by executing the NetIQ.DRA.HealthCheckUI.exe file. When the application opens, you can choose to do a specific operation, run checks on specific components, or run checks on all components. See below for useful functions you do using the Health Check Utility:
