Hi

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can measure the utilisation of the CPU, RAM and Disk subsystem of a Windows 2000 system running a particular application?

Benchmarking software is of no use to me because it just gives a performance indication for various components, I need to find out what is slowing down a particular running application (Hampton Russell's STRATA).

On UNIX systems, I am aware of top, sar, tprof, svmon, filemon, cpqmon, etc. and wondered whether there were any equivalents available for Windows 2000?

Task Manager doesn't seem to give much information about disk I/O or what is causing a bottleneck.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Are performance counters no use in this situation?
I'm sure they could be - sadly, I'm not familiar with them. Can you elaborate please? I will also check on Google.

Many thanks for a start point.

<later> - looking at PerfMon.
