Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 50

You need to monitor the performance of a server.
What should you create first?

Answer options

• A. Baseline
• B. Counters
• C. Page File
• D. Alerts

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Creating a Baseline is essential as it establishes a performance standard against which future measurements can be compared. Without a Baseline, it would be difficult to determine if the server's performance is improving or degrading. The other options, while useful, are secondary to having a defined Baseline to measure against.
