Next Steps

You should closely monitor the virtual machines during the first few weeks of operation to ensure the correct
configuration of your resource assignments. You can also use the Microsoft ® Windows Server ™ 2003
Performance Advisor tool to create performance baselines and reports for each virtual machine.
Use the tool inside each virtual machine individually to ensure that the baseline creation process does not
introduce a significant load onto the host server. Get more information or download the free Server
Performance Advisor 2.0 from the following URL:
