1. When monitoring memory as it relates to server performance, remember
_______________________ the better and consider the size and location of the
___________________________.
2. Match the tool with its purpose
Server manager
Applies stress on a resource
to observe its response.
Performance Monitor
Displays current
configuration
Windows NT Diagnostics
Shows current user
connections, share names and
machines on the network
Task Manager
Uses counters to track data
like processes data, processor
utilization and many others
Network Monitor
View applications and
processes and stop them if
necessary
Response Probe
Views network traffic like
broadcasts and packets.

______________________, _______________, _____________________ or
___________________________. .
18. (Lesson 4) ____________________ and _____________________ have the greatest impact
on file and print servers.
19. Calculating the number of users for file and print services involves measuring how a
