Windows 2003 - Collecting Performance Data
-
Hi, One more question regarding the Windows Server 2003 - we have noticed a drop of performance on one of our Win 2003 servers recently. After a little examination I've noticed that there is a task scheduled to run every hour at hh:45, called "Collect server performance data" (or something along those lines, translated from a localized version). Everytime this task starts, the CPU usage goes up to 100% and performance becomes poor for a few minutes. Does anyone have an idea why does it cause such a performance drop? Is it safe to just change the schedule to, let's say, once a day during the night hours? Should I change it directly in the "Scheduled Tasks" or should it be configured elsewhere? Thanks for any ideas in advance, Rado

Probably from Server Performance Advisor[^]. This is probably on the start menu somewhere. As for why CPU usage peaks, it's probably set to a really small sample interval, so virtually all the system is doing is reading the performance counters. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
