Troubleshooting Tools for Slow Server Performance

BC.

The two BEST choices for the administrator to use to troubleshoot the problem of a server responding slowly are Resource Monitor and Event Viewer.

Resource Monitor: Resource Monitor is a built-in Windows tool that provides real-time monitoring of system resources such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, and network activity. It provides detailed information on which processes are consuming resources and allows the administrator to identify which processes might be causing the server to respond slowly. By using Resource Monitor, the administrator can quickly identify and isolate the source of the problem.

Event Viewer: Event Viewer is another built-in Windows tool that allows the administrator to view system and application logs. It can be used to identify errors, warnings, and critical events that may be affecting the server's performance. By reviewing the event logs, the administrator can identify patterns or trends that might be causing the server to respond slowly. The Event Viewer can provide insight into hardware failures, software conflicts, or other issues that may be affecting the server's performance.

Disk defragmenter, Device Manager, System Information, and File Manager are not the best choices for troubleshooting a server that is responding slowly. Disk defragmenter can help optimize disk performance, but it is not likely to resolve issues that are causing the server to respond slowly. Device Manager and System Information can be useful for identifying hardware-related issues, but they are not likely to be the root cause of the server's slow response. File Manager is a tool for managing files and folders and is not relevant for troubleshooting server performance issues.
