    Overview

    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 Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Microsoft Office 2007, Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Hyper-V, Microsoft Application Virtualization, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and Forefront® Client Security and Network Access Protection. 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.

    If you are interested in server virtualization planning, MAP provides the ability to gather performance metrics from computers you are considering for virtualization and a feature to model a library of potential host hardware and storage configurations. This information can be used to quickly perform "what-if" analysis using Hyper-V and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 as virtualization platforms.

    Details can be found on TechNet on this page.

    Hey where do we report problems with MAPT 4.0?

    In W7 7100 64-bit with Office 2010 64-bit I get an error when building the report that it failed.

    This wasn't an issue before Office 2010.

    Hi,

    You can give us the log of the error that appears? I believe so we can know the error and how to resolve.

    Turns out that Map 4.0 does not support office 2010. You will have to wait for the next version of MAP, or roll your office back to 2007.

    I suppose I have the same problem. I installed the latest version of MAP this morning in view of assessing our workstation readiness for Office 2007. But under the "Discovery and Readiness" section in the left panel, there's no item for Office 2007. I could see only readiness items for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2. I wonder if I should install Office 2007 on the machines to see the Office 2007 item.
