Performance Monitoring For Windows 2003 Servers

Q&A: When optimizing Windows Server, which Performance monitor counters are ok to disable? Do I need all of them?

Question by Tech Lynn523: When optimizing Windows Server, which Performance monitor counters are ok to disable? Do I need all of them?
For optimization of Windows Server 2003, using fewer performance monitor counters can clear up some server resources, as the server’s overall performance is a bit slow

Answer by JaxPlanet
Absolutely! In fact, stop all of them.
You only need to run performance counters when you need to collect performance data.

Only collect performance data on specific days at specific times. Over time, this will give you a very good perspective on your server’s performance and the impact of any changes you make to it.

I hope this helps.
