Monitoring, Troubleshooting, and Performance Optimization Features

You can use tools included with Microsoft Exchange Server and Windows NT Server to check the state of servers, their connections, and their performance, including Server Monitor, Link Monitor, and Windows NT Performance Monitor.

Other tools included with Microsoft Exchange Server and Windows NT Server troubleshoot and track problems with servers:

• Windows NT Event Viewer
• Windows NT Control Panel
• Windows NT Server Manager

The Performance Optimizer included with Microsoft Exchange Server analyzes the server's hard disk and memory configurations to determine the best location for components. You should use the Performance Optimizer:

• After running Setup.
• After changing the server's hardware configuration.
• After making changes to the server's role in the site, such as adding or removing a connector.
• To help move files to other disks for special configurations.
• To experiment with parameter settings for a particular installation.
