Hi

we have got some performance problems on our Terminal servers. Right
now we got 3 terminal server and 2 data servers where the databases
are.
Which parametres in perfmon do I have add?
In the first place I just want to know, if its a obvious hardware
problem, or if its our databases.

Re: What to look for in Perfmon on a W2K3 terminal server

What is the baseline for the perf problems that you are seeing (ie)
-> Is there perf degradation compared to the app running locally vs over TS.
-> Is it slow compared to the previous versions of the software that was
installed?

Also, what hardware config do you have?

In perfmon, these counters might be useful:

Terminal Services
-> Active sessions
-> Total sessions

This can help to determine if the perf issues increase with an increase in
the session count.

Within a session, these counters can be useful:
Terminal Services Session
-> %Privileged Time
-> %Process Time
-> %User Time
To determine where majority of CPU time is spent.

-> Pool paged bytes
-> Pool non-paged bytes
-> Input bytes
-> Output bytes
To determine where there is lot of activity.

Depending on the baseline, you might want to compare these values to the
values obtained when the app runs locally as opposed to TS (or) when the app
runs on a previous version of the software.
