• Performance Check on SP Farm – Perf Mon using PowerShell

  by Sanjiv Sharma

  Microsoft’s Performance Monitor application makes a wealth of information about the components on the servers. In order to properly diagnose and troubleshoot SharePoint performance problems, SharePoint Admin often depends on a performance monitor (perfmon) log during problem period. Choosing or picking different sets of Performance Counters for SharePoint Servers are sometime cucumbersome and time comsuming. Also few client do not allow to log-in to Production Servers directly. Using Powershell we can achive all the possible scenario and can make re-usable script.

  In the live demo will try to show how to make best use of PS and other free tool to make readable report from Perf Mon Counters.
