Windows Performance Analyzer after first launch Although you can run it on a client, you’ll likely get improved performance on administrative machines (and will find the graphs easier to read). This tool will be ran on your management machines. Your second main tool is the Windows Performance Analyzer (WPA). After our information has been captured, WPR will save and compress that information into a single trace file. Most of the time, we will use the Reboot Cycle performance scenario to test clients. You will use WPR to capture performance related issues on client machines. Because a lot of existing performance documentation still reference these two obsolete tools, it is important to substitute WPR in their place. This tool has been streamlined and replaces the functionality of two past tools: Xpref and Xbootmgr. The first tool is the Windows Performance Recorder (WPR).
This test client, preferably a virtual machine, is about to undergo a lot of changes! WPR, WPA, WHY so many acronyms?Īfter installation, you will now have a few new tools at your disposal.
Now that you have the Windows Performance Toolkit installed on your management machine, you will also want to install it on a test client that exactly mimics your organization.
