Windows Server 2008 performance monitor

We are using Windows Server 2008 and server keep hogging out of the CPU usage. At the moment I have remote on the server, the server resumed to normal. Are there tools or software that I could activate in order for me to track down the culprit?

  • Performance issues with Windows Server 2008 host

    Hi all

    If I use a Windows Server 2008 host on my ESXi 4 installation.  I've recently upgraded to version 4 and had previously experienced similar problems and 3.5.  I also improved the hardware in the virtual computer to version 7 on all my guest OS.  The host in question is a file server.  Essentially what happens is sometimes that if a user opens a document (for most of the audio and/or video documents), the media file will take a minute or two to load then jump during playback.  If it's something like a file PDF/Word/Excel, the respective program crashes when the file loads or changes are saved, taking about a minute to respond to the user to enter again.  This problem is also very sparadic.  I even had this problem occurs when I'm the only user accessing the file server.  The specification of my VMware host is 3.2 GHz Xeon dual processor and 7 GB of RAM.  Two data warehouses are hosted on internal SATA hard drives.  ESXi is on the build 219382.  VMware tools is installed and update on all guest OS so far.  With regard to the use of the resources on the computer host, the memory usage with all my virtual machines running is almost always around 5.2 GB on the 7 available and the CPU usage is usually around 2 GHz.

    Looking at the logs performance monitor, I noticed an increase in the use of the disc during the shutdowns.  Are there utilities built to test the internal hard drives to find errors?  If this isn't the case, anyone recommend a utility that I can use to do this?

    Other ideas are also welcome.

    As mentioned disk SATA performance is less than ideal, or even acceptable by many people. The SATA drives in a configuration having non-RAID which makes it doubly Yes. If they were at least in a RAID 0, 0 + 1 or 5 configuration you would have best performance among readers (would be loath to 0 though, since there is no parity involved).

    Using the means on board mode SATA drive controller (or not RAID) of the SATA it runs the performance as low as possible.

    I wouldn't have even thought to have a server, or a system, used as a server that does not use RAID functions at least for redundancy. Couple that with discs that aren't going to cause bottlenecks as a standard too. Who used to refer to SCSI drives high speed, but also means using SAS drives these days (since they are replacing older parallel SCSI drives). The most difficult configurations for ESX, are performed on the server class hardware, which has access to a shared storage (which is high performance) on a fast network (Go to our days, or fiber) or a RAID array internally, which will not cause performance problems.

    You can try setting the server configuration, you have now, but that will only take you so far. You will need to the major weak links in the system. A (a major) is the SATA storage as stand-alone drives. The other is a network of 100 MB, which isn't too bad, but is still a performance hit when you share all traffic with these two ports. Moving to a GB switch could help the part of the question, but you will still have to solve problems of disk performance. If there is a decent amount of shared storage attached network where you are, see if they can give you a reasonable amount for the servers you are running on the host computer. Of course, you'll want to also be on the fastest possible network/connection of this storage.

  • WD Sentinel DX4000 is able to backup of servers running Windows Server 2008 R2?

    Community of Microsoft of Hello, I have the following problem:

    (1) I bought a 4 TB external hard drive to back up the servers running Windows Server 2008 R2

    (2) in order to back up servers in the external hard drive, I used the windows backup tool server

    (3) but the backup does not work and windows tool has shown a message output problem I / O

    (4) seeking to this topic, read xxxx

    (5) then went on the western digital site to check any storage which can back up servers

    (6) located the WD Sentinel DX4000 (http://store.westerndigital.com/store/wdus/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/categoryID.59243300/subCategory.59245600/parid.59193300/catid.59243100)

    (7) but before I buy, I want to assure you that I will be able to connect the WD Sentinel DX4000 on servers and perform the backup or backup windows or Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials tool that comes in WD own Sentinel DX4000

    (9) also asked the technicians at Microsoft, but he could not answer with certainty.

    So I turn to Microsoft community to see if someone is using the WD Sentinel DX4000 to back up servers with windows 2008 R2 server successfully.

    Already, thank you for your attention.

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

    Therefore, I created the user and system DSN in the ODBC DSN and so able to invite me for connection (System dsn) but not with the ODBC connection id I created.
    Everyone has experienced problems connecting to ODBC after this hotfix was updated?

    Installing CPID v2.0 on Windows server 2008 R2 with SP1, the Setup log reported that the installation failed with the error "CustomAction RollBackSccmComponents returned error code 1603"

    I run the Setup with this command after you open the command prompt as 'Run as administrator ':

    MsiExec.exe /i Dell_Client_Integration_Pack.msi

    I even put the command above into a batch file and run it with the same result. With the help of Trace32, I also found this error to be the main problem causing the failure of this facility:

    I found myself by opening a ticket with Dell to get this problem finally solved. After the installation of Dell's Support log shipping, they asked me to follow these steps below:

    1 if the SQL DB is on a separate machine, try to create the "SMS_TaskSequence_Action" class in WMI under \\.\root\sms\site_ >.  You can download WMI Explorer to browse if you want to see if this class already exists.  Run the script below will not hurt if it already exists.

    a. here are the instructions to create the custom class.  First open powershell as an administrator.

    b. set-executionpolicy RemoteSigned

    c. change the extension on the attached in .ps1 file and change the file to replace the "site_abc" by "site_their 3 letter site code.

    d. change the storage location of the ps1 file.

    e... \WMIClassAdd.ps1

    f. restart and try the installation again.

    3. If it still does not work, send me the newspaper install again to look at.

    Note:

    Here is what was in the attachment in step C.

    ****************************************************************************

    $newClass = ' new-Object System.Management.ManagementClass

    ("root\sms\site_abc", [String]: empty, $null);

    $newClass ["__CLASS"] = "SMS_TaskSequence_Action";

    $newClass.Qualifiers.Add ("Static", $true)

    $newClass.Put)

    After you run the instructions above and restarted the server, installing v2.0 CPID ended successfully.

    I hope that these instructions will help someone in the future... :))

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    I understand you get error message "Windows Server 2008 R2 has stopped working correctly" in your computer maintenance center. Apart from this, your computer works fine.

    This error message appears because of political use of heavy group, and the presence of SCOM, causing a deadlock condition between the processes Lsass.exe, redirect Drive Buffering Subsystem (Rdbss.sys) driver and the Winsock Kernel.

    A fix is available for this question, I suggest to run the fix in the article below and check if that solved the problem.

    Are you sure that you have installed a Windows Server 2008 R2?

    Because the normal procedure is that after the installation, you will get a prompt to choose an administrator password. Once you are connected.

    There is no additional user created during installation. This only happens when you install versions of Windows desktop.
