Introducing Windows 2000 Professional

Monitoring the performance of your Windows 2000 Professional system is an important part of a preventive maintenance program. Monitoring enables you to obtain performance data useful in diagnosing system problems and in planning for future system resources demands, such as CPU, disk, and memory subsystems. Windows 2000 Professional provides the user with several performance-monitoring tools to accomplish these tasks.

For more information about how performance monitoring works, which tools are used when, and how it can help you diagnose problems and prepare for anticipated changes in system workload, see Overview of Performance Monitoring in this book.
