Designed as a quick reference for optimizing and tuning Windows NT Server and Workstation, this book presents explanations of common symptoms related to performance problems and tuning techniques that can help avoid such problems. Because servers more than workstations are likely to benefit from optimization, this book leans more toward server issues. It covers the basics of Window NT architecture and capabilities; describes Windows NT memory and storage subsystems; and explains the all important performance and optimization tools, including Control Panel utilities, Performance Monitor, Network Monitor, and the Windows NT Task Manager. This book offers tips and suggestions on how to tune performance through a variety of Windows NT settings, and also provides a list of third-party tools and systems that can help improve server or workstation performance.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Worst NT Book Ever,
By A Customer
This review is from: Key to Optimizing and Tuning Windows Nt 4.0 (Windows Nt Magazine Instant Solutions) (Paperback)
I have read many, many books on Networking and NT and I can honestly say this is the worst book ever written on the subject. Anyone with 5 minutes worth of experience with NT will already know 99% of this book. In my professional opinion, this book gets the big crappy. It's sad to see that a group with such an outstanding performance record (Windows NT Magazine) would put their name on such an inferior book.

Almost no useful information in this book,

This review is from: Key to Optimizing and Tuning Windows Nt 4.0 (Windows Nt Magazine Instant Solutions) (Paperback)
Out of the 225 pages in this book, there are possibly only 5 pages with useful information for tuning NT 4.0. However, if you want to know what File/Exit does in Performance Monitor, check out page 35. File/Open and File/Save for network monitor are described nicely on page 91. Save your money.
