What you'll learn

Most Windows Server environments generate more performance data and event logs than any admin can realistically review by hand, which is why problems often surface only after users notice them. In this course, Windows Server 2025 Monitoring and Performance Optimization, you'll gain the ability to catch performance and health issues on your servers before they turn into outages. First, you'll explore how to monitor server performance and health using Performance Monitor, Data Collector Sets, and threshold-based alerts. Next, you'll discover how to analyze logs and events with Event Viewer and Azure Monitor so you can spot bottlenecks and trigger alerts proactively. You'll also learn to optimize system performance and scalability by tuning resource allocation, configuring auto-scaling, and testing workloads under load. Finally, you'll learn how to automate monitoring and reporting with PowerShell and Azure Automation so these checks run on their own. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of Windows Server 2025 monitoring and performance optimization needed to reduce downtime, catch issues before your users do, and free up time for higher-value work.
