Why This Chapter Matters
The tools discussed in this chapter should be part of every network administra
tor’s basic tool kit. Keeping your servers running smoothly and protecting their
data are top priorities that you should observe before any signs of trouble occur.
In the real world, you can use the Performance console to monitor virtually every
aspect of the performance of a computer running the Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 family, and to alert you when conditions signal any kind of trouble.
Network Monitor enables you to examine any kind of traffic on your network,
and is also a valuable aid for learning about network protocols.
