  1. Module 9Planning and Implementing Monitoring and Maintenance

  2. Module Overview • Planning Monitoring Tasks • Calculating a Server Baseline • Tools for Monitoring Server Performance • Planning Software Updates

  3. Lesson 1: Planning Monitoring Tasks Discussion: Why Monitor Servers? Monitoring Methods Planning for Event Monitoring

  4. Discussion: Why Monitor Servers? Why should you monitor your servers? 15 min

  5. Monitoring Methods • Real time: • Performance monitoring • Service-level agreements • Historical: • Event logs • Retained performance logs • Tools: • Event Viewer • Windows System Resource Manager • Network Monitor • Reliability and Performance Monitor • System Center Operations Manager

  6. Planning for Event Monitoring • Cost: • Money savings • Time savings • Personnel: • Effort reductions • Efficiency increases • Respond to events: • Reactive • Proactive

  7. Lesson 2: Calculating a Server Baseline Discussion: Which Hardware Components Should You Monitor? Common Performance Metrics Analyzing Performance Trends Planning for Future Capacity Requirements

  8. Discussion: Which Hardware Components Should You Monitor? Which server resources should you monitor? What is a bottleneck? 15 min

  9. Common Performance Metrics • Process • Processor • Server • System • Thread • Cache • Memory • Objects • Paging file • Physical disk

  10. Analyzing Performance Trends • Historical analysis • Future business requirements • IT consolidation planning

  11. Planning for Future Capacity Requirements • New services • Upgrades • Operating system updates • Number of users

  12. Lesson 3: Tools for Monitoring Server Performance Windows Server 2008 Monitoring Tools Performance Monitor Reliability Monitor Third-Party Monitoring Tools What Are Subscriptions? Identifying Business Requirements

  13. Windows Server 2008 Monitoring Tools Built-in tools for monitoring systems: • Event Viewer • Task Manager • Scripting • Reliability and Performance Monitor

  14. Performance Monitor

  15. Reliability Monitor

  16. Third-Party Monitoring Tools Applications Hardware System Center Operations Manager integration

  17. What Are Subscriptions? Subscriptions collect events from multiple computers, and store them locally

  18. Identifying Business Requirements Economic cost of service failure Service-level agreement response times Staff availability

  19. Lesson 4: Planning Software Updates • What Is Microsoft Update? • What Is Automatic Updates? • What Is WSUS? • WSUS Deployment Scenarios • Best Practice for Using WSUS

  20. What Is Microsoft Update? Microsoft Update is a Microsoft Web site that includes: • Updates for Windows operating systems, software, and device drivers • Updates for Microsoft applications • New content that is added to the site regularly

  21. What Is Automatic Updates? Automatic Updates is client software that: • Communicates with Microsoft Update or WSUS • Automatically downloads updates • Notifies users of update availability

  22. What Is WSUS? Microsoft Update Web site Automatic Updates Server running Windows Server Update Services Test Clients LAN Internet Automatic Updates

  23. WSUS Deployment Scenarios Microsoft Update Firewall Regional Client Computers IndependentWSUS Server Remote Office Client Computers DisconnectedWSUS Server Main OfficeWSUS Server Main Office ClientComputers ReplicaWSUS Server

  24. Best Practice for Using WSUS • Use computer groups for testing • Configure an initial test group • Configure a business testing group • Deploy updates one department at a time • Remove problem updates

  25. Lab: Planning and Implementing Monitoring and Maintenance • Exercise 1: Evaluating Performance Metrics • Exercise 2: Monitoring Performance Metrics • Exercise 3: Configuring Data Collector Sets • Exercise 4: Evaluating Trends Logon information Estimated time: 60 minutes

  26. Lab Scenario • Some of the users at A. Datum Corporation are reporting issues with certain servers in the New York offices that have been identified as running slowly. The IT manager, Allison Brown, has forwarded to you some performance log files from the problematic server. You must evaluate data that is collected from performance logs and identify where potential problems may exist.

  27. Module Review and Takeaways • Review Questions
