Windows Server 2012 tuning guidelines
Hello Folks,
Following an IT camp a few weeks back, I was discussing tuning options in Windows Server 2012. After our discussion I started looking for some documented tuning parameters. A little like the documents I had found in 2011 for Windows 2008 R2 (Make Windows 2008 R2 roar like a performance machine…).
so I found one I think will benefit information technology (IT) professionals and system administrators who need to tune the performance of a server that is running Windows Server 2012.
This guide describes important tuning parameters and settings that you can adjust to improve the performance and energy efficiency of the Windows Server 2012.
This guide covers the following:

I suggest you download the evaluation version of Windows Server 2012 here (https://aka.ms/downloadserver2012) and use the guide available here (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/jj248719.aspx) to expand your knowledge and experience.
