SharePoint Configuration Analyzer is a free tool that you can download from the Microsoft Download Center which allows you to analyze and create reports on your SharePoint servers. The SharePoint Configuration Analyzer can report configuration errors and copy log files, configuration files, and other data to network share for further analysis.

You must install SharePoint Configuration Analyzer on the server running Sharepoint and in a server farm this must be installed on each front-end Web server. Once you have downloaded and installed the tool, run Sca.exe, in the Server address field enter the URL of the virtual server or the FQDN of the server that you wish to perform and analysis of.

You can analyze a single site, or all the sites on the Sharepoint server(s). There are a number of other options you can select including the option to package the results into a CAB file for storage. Once you have made your choices, press Go to begin the analysis.

If you selected to package the results in a CAB file you they will be available in a file called "VirtualServerName_PortNumber_AnalyzerPackage_time.cab" and saved it in the location where you unziped the configuration analyzer to.

Note Along with optionally creating a .cab file, SharePoint Configuration Analyzer always creates a folder, named "VirtualServerName_PortNumber_AnalyzerPackage_time, that contains the set of data it finds.
