- Click on Start, Programs, Administrator Tools and Performance
- From tree structure select System Monitor
- Click on the + symbol on the action bar for a list of counters
In general it is the overall performance of the server that is of interest, so from the list choose Process, then either
- processor time - measure of CPU bottlenecks
- page faults/sec - measure of memory bottlenecks
- disk queue length - measure of disk bottlenecks
To save a particular set of measurements (console), click Console and Save or Save As.
