Product Description
Book Description
This reference will help Windows 2000 administrators, business managers, and technical professionals understand Windows 2000 capacity planning and performance tuning issues in order to optimize the performance of computing resources while reducing the total cost of ownership. This Technical Reference offers ready advice on how to implement, configure, and run Windows 2000 Server-based systems for faster, more stable, and more efficient performance. It covers issues such as optimization and replication of the Active Directory service across enterprise networks, domains in LAN and WAN networks, and Web hosting -- making it a comprehensive roadmap to Windows 2000 performance tuning.
From the Author
New operating systems are designed to offer expanded feature sets, enhance productivity, and access to updated hardware; all of which are supposed to make users more productive. Unfortunately, these enhancements often have the opposite effect; your system may run slowly after installation because these features use more system resources. Tuning offers a way to access these enhancements without killing system performance. A tuned system works faster, operates more reliably, and reduces the time a network administrator requires to maintain the system. In short, if you want to get the most out of your operating system, you need to tune it.
Just about everyone needs help getting their system tuned. Windows 2000 is one of the most complex versions of the Windows operating system ever released, so the need for performance, tuning, and optimization information is greater than ever before. Not only do you need to know where to look for problems, but you also need to know which tools help you quantify the problems and ensure your system is operating at peak performance once changes are made.
I wrote this book with Irfan to ensure that network administrators have the information they need to fully tune Windows 2000. The book includes architectural details, interoperability information, as well as tool usage details. We cover everything from the Windows 200 kernel, to the latest applications. In short, this is comprehensive look at how a network administrator can modify Windows 2000 to make it work better.

An excellent book for those in a hurry!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Windows 2000 Performance Tuning Technical Reference (Hardcover)
You really need this book on your shelf. This book is packed with really useful information in an easy to read format. I found that the book's organization makes that information easy to find. The authors don't spend a lot of time telling you things that are nice to know, but don't fix problems. They tell you what types of problems you'll see, solutions to fix them, and how to avoid the problem in the future. This has been one of the better administrative tool purchases I've made.

An outstanding performance and tuning reference!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Windows 2000 Performance Tuning Technical Reference (Hardcover)
When I first started working with Windows 2000, I found Microsoft's documentation difficult to use, problem specific, and hard to understand. This book helped me get to the root of the performance problems with my server in a reasonably short time. I found all of the information provided by the authors was right on the mark and that unlike other books I've read, this one didn't assume I was some type of networking guru. This book is great because it covers both older and state-of-the-art network technology. I was really happy to find detailed information on fiber optics and SANs. I suppose that if you're already a networking guru that some of this information might fall into the common sense category, but for the me the book is indispensible.

Excellent for Power Users & Everyone Else,
By Rational "Sensible" (High Point, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Windows 2000 Performance Tuning Technical Reference (Hardcover)
The old saying "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link" is especially true of servers. If you've got bottlenecks, you're not getting the performance you should. Whether you're working with LANs, WANs or the Internet, you'll find lots of solid advice in this excellent book. If you want to improve the performance of a Windows 2000 system (and who doesn't?), this is the book for you. You'll learn to monitor, diagnose, manage, tweak, optimize, fine-tune and, in general, make the most of Windows 2000. These authors know what they're talking about! I had the pleasure of co-authoring a book last year with John Paul Mueller and I can tell you first hand how hard he works to research and write accurate, understandable books.
