Overview/Description
Some performance issues require a detailed historical set of data to diagnose. Simply capturing a single static statistic will not help to determine if a system is overtaxed. This course covers the collection and analysis of historical performance data in Windows systems. It also covers the automation of data collection using the Performance Analysis of Logs tool, the collection and analysis of low-level system metrics using the Windows Performance Toolkit, and ultimately, best practices for Windows system performance monitoring.

Target Audience
Windows desktop and server technicians, and anyone interested in monitoring and diagnosing performance issues in Windows systems

Prerequisites
None

Expected Duration (hours)
