T10AM   Performance Monitoring and Tuning Under Windows NT 
Aeleen Frisch, Exponential Consulting

Who should attend: NT sysads familiar with elementary Windows NT system administration concepts and tasks, including basic server configuration and maintenance, configuring TCP/IP networking under Windows NT and administering Windows NT services. Experience tuning UNIX or other systems is helpful but not required. UNIX sysadmins with significant tuning experience can expect much of the conceptual material to be a review and may find the overall pace slower than they'd like.

This in-depth course will focus on monitoring and improving system and network performance on Windows NT systems. A variety of real world scenarios and examples will be discussed. We will use the standard Windows NT Performance Monitor facility to examine and track system performance.

Topics covered are:

	Overview of performance factors and considerations
	Monitoring system operation and evaluating system efficiency
	Strategies for locating performance bottlenecks
	CPU performance
	Memory usage and its performance implications
	Disk and other I/O performance issues
	Network performance issues
	System tuning strategies and hints
	Capacity planning
