Health check
The Best Practices Analyzer tool for Team Foundation Server queries the Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class, Win32_ComputerSystem, to determine the current value of the **NumberOfProcessors **key.
A warning appears if the value of NumberOfProcessors is larger than 8.
You can safely ignore this warning if the computer is configured to use Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. With this technology, multi-threaded software applications can run threads in parallel. For more information about Hyper-Threading Technology, see the Intel Web site.
Team Foundation Server can use only eight processors effectively on a computer. On computers that have more than eight processors but do not use Hyper-Threading Technology, use hardware partitioning to partition the computer into multiple eight-processor or four-processor computers. For more information about this kind of partitioning, contact your hardware manufacturer.
