Run all available SharePoint 2010 Health Analyzer Checks

SharePoint 2010 has a built in Health Analyzer which runs via a series of timer jobs to analyze the health and stability of the farm.  Some of the rules behind the health analyzer are a bit strict and often times you’ll find an alert for something which isn’t really an issue at all.  As part of our new build procedure we always address each of these alerts before handing off the farm to the client.  At issue however is that these checks run on a hourly / daily / weekly or even monthly basis.  It’s a disappointment to hand over a farm only to have the client call 2 weeks later indicating an ‘error message’ has popped up in central admin.  The following powershell command, as mentioned on Todd Klindts podcast and various other blogs, will run all available health analyzer rules immediately allowing you to tweak or disable ones which don’t fit your environment.

Get-SPTimerJob | Where {$_.Name -like "*Health*" -and $_.Name -like "*-all-*"} | Start-SPTimerJob
