Which of the following alerts gets generated when any server or client computer in the network has low disk space, which is less than 10% available across all volumes?
- Network Services Alerts
- Server Event Log Alerts
- User Performance Alerts
- Performance Counter Alerts
Explanation:
Performance Counter Alerts is generated by default when any server or client computer in the network has low disk space, which is less than 10% available across all volumes.Incorrect Answers:
A: Network Services Alerts is generated by default when Windows monitors network services that are set to start automatically, and then it generates an alert if the service stops. These services are critical to the functioning of the network.
B: Server Event Log Alerts gets generated when Windows monitors a specific set of events across the event logs. If any of the events are detected, an alert is generated and displayed in the Other Alerts section of the reports.
C: There is no such alert as User Performance alerts in Windows. -
John works as a Consumer Support Technician for Web Tech Inc. The company provides troubleshooting support to users.
A user named Peter is working with Windows 10. He reports that when he installs a new application on his computer, Windows Task Manager displays that the CPU use is constantly at 100 percent. However, when he checks the desktop and Task Manager, he finds that no program is currently open.
Which of the following tabs will John use to identify the program which uses most of the CPU time?
- Performance tab
- Services tab
- Users tab
- Processes tab
Explanation:
In order to accomplish the task, John will use the Processes tab of Task Manager. The Processes tab shows a list of all the tasks that are running on the system.
It provides the Image Name, User Name, CPU time, Memory, and Description of the processes.Incorrect Answers:
A: The Performance tab of Task Manager displays only overall statistics such as CPU usage, PF usage, etc. It does not provide information about any individual process. The following image displays the output of the Performance tab:B: The Services tab lists the services running on the system. It does not identify the program which uses most of the CPU time.
C: The Users tab lists the users who are currently logged in to the system. It does not identify the program which uses most of the CPU time.

Which of the following tools will you use to view information about the use of hardware and software resources of a particular system in real time?
- Event Viewer
- Performance Monitor
- Server Manager
- Resource Monitor
Explanation:
Performance Monitor is a Windows tool that monitors system and network resources. It is used to get statistical data about the hardware and software components of a server.Incorrect Answers:
A: The Event Viewer allows checking of the log of multiple servers. Diagnostic logging helps in figuring out problems on several servers (with the databases on those servers), and for the diagnostic logging, the user can view event logs with the Event Viewer in Windows or the Web Event Viewer in SharePoint Central Administration.C: Server Manager is a primary tool available in Windows Server 2016. It manages and secures multiple server roles in an enterprise. The Server Manager console allows an administrator to perform the following tasks:
Install Windows Server roles and features. View the Event Viewer logs.
Access performance monitoring tools, Device Manager, Task Scheduler, Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, Services, Local Users and Groups, Windows Server Backup, and Disk management.D: Resource Monitor is a suite of administration tools designed to provide a quick overview of a single user interface. It can be launched from the start menu or from the Task Manager using the Performance tab. Resource monitor displays real-time information about hardware resources but not software resources.
