1. Using a dedicated disk for the page file
The trick may be to maximize your server performance. By default, Windows creates a page file, taking it as virtual memory. Because Windows will frequently use this file. This file is the best storage location on a dedicated disk (note: not a separate volume). These server do will ensure Windows page file before reading data, but will not need to wait for other applications to use up the drive.
2.Ensure that your hard disk periodically run the Disk Defragmenter
Today disk perform continuously read, in fact,very fast. However.when the disk is requested to read the data stored in scattered, Windows performance will drop. By running the Disk Defragmenter, you can ensure that the file can be a sequential manner rather than haphazard stored on disk, so your sever will read files efficiently.
3. Use the NTFS file system
AS for server versions of Windows operating systems, NTFS is the default file system, Windows supports the use of FAT and FAT-32 file system. I've read every book MSCE training course is recommended to use the NTFS file system because it is more secure than the FAT and FAT-32 file system in use. Server performance but these books are not mentioned NTFS is a process (transaction-based) based file system. This means that compared to FAT and FAT-32 file system concerned, NTFS file system faster.
4. Avoid running 16-bit applications
64-bit Windows operating system does not run 16-bit applications, so that this one is not a problem for 64-bit operating systems. However, 32-bit Windows operating system will run 16-bit applications. Windows using multi-tasking mode prefer to 16-bit applications. Discuss Windows server performance multi-tasking 16-bit applications will require a separate opening instructions, but it is certain that running 16-bit applications will degrade performance.
5. Find memory leaks (memory leaks)
Memory leak is difficult to be written on the question of the application. Under normal circumstances, it would be to requests operating system memory as a application. Typically, when the application is no longer running, it will release memory to the operating system. If an application contains a memory leak when it is run, it will make a request to the memory, but after use, the release of memory make a failure. When the next time the application needs memory, the amount of memory that Windows will be required to be more than the last time. Over time, the amount of memory that Windows can provide for other applications will be less and less.
Initially, the impact of memory leaks on system performance is negligible, but when such a leak becomes more and more time, its impact on system performance will stand out.
6.Remove the rarely use those components
Each server I ever purchased often installed a wide variety of monitor logging component. If you can use these components according to your plan, it is nothing for Server performance to install these components.but I am surprised that there are many system administrators who install (or never removed) component on the server that.In fact,it is a way to a waste of system resources.because they never even been run.
7. Stop running those services that do not use
In a similar article, I also recommend browsing the Service Control Manager and close those that are not used in the service. This will not only be able to improve our server performance,it can also improve the security of the server. The computer has a law that describes the code executed.The chance of insecurity including code will increase.By turning off those services that do not use.You do that, which is to reduce the size of the execution of the code and decrease the chance of the server that contains the security vulnerability being exploited.
8. Log out
This is another way you can improve server security and performance. When you no longer use the console,for security reasons, you should log out operation.At the time you log in, Windows Server will load your user properties, which will consume memory and CPU.
9. Compact Disk
When Microsoft released MS-DOS5.0, they presented features its disk compression. What happened was able to make the hard disk or floppy disk compression to store more data. When I try to use disk compression technology, then, my computer is running slow down, I would not go back to using a compressed disk until recently had no use compression.
Now, under normal circumstances, the compression is indeed possible to improve system performance. In a computer, the hard disk is considered to run the slowest part. However, if you can compress a file, you are reducing its physical size, which will also reduce the amount of time to read it from the hard disk.
At the same time, a compressed file must be decompressed after it is read from disk. Decompression operation usually takes up memory, and the process will be supplied with some CPU time. If your server is running a disk enhanced application to solve a large number of decentralized file (not a database), the implementation of compression can improve system performance.
10. Adjust the server response
The difference between PC and server is that the personal computer is not always there to run the server application from the server console.Then, the optimization is to obtain priority from server applications to the background.
You can open the server's control panel, and double-click the System icon. When a window is displayed in the System Properties tab, go to the "Advanced" tab items, find the performance settings section and click the Settings button. Performance Options window will be displayed in the Properties tab. Go to the Properties tab of Advanced Options, and determine the server settings for optimal performance as a background service.

Tanx for the info

Alright nw

Number 6 is fool proof

Inculcate the use of Server Core.

Nice post...@op NTFS or ReFS which is better?

Abeg, how does this affect the value of our one and only Naira ?

alienvirus:
Inculcate the use of Server Core.

If not for larger disk size, I would prefer NTFS.

Hurray! i enta f.p. today!

Ok

Story, the best thing is buying a good laptop that suit you like this one below:
Sky X9W: The Laptop Has A 64GB
RAM, 5TB SSD And 6 USB Ports.

I av no idea as to wat d op is saying sef.. Can sum1 pls educate me?

Wetin concern us with windows server , windows cor Linux redhat nii

These tips are great for those running Windows NT 4.0 Server. But, sadly, we live in 2016, not 1996.
