Updated May 2014.

I’m happy to announce that our Program Managers, Developers (SDE’s) and Testers (SDET’s) released a new version of the Windows Performance Toolkit.

It adds support for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

But also adds new features and fixes that we (PFE and GBS (used to be known as CTS)) requested.

Grab it from:

Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1

WPT: Updated version of “Windows Performance Toolkit” 8.1 update from the ADK or SDK.

Q:  Would I install this tool as a part of my client or server builds? 
A:  Personally, yes, I would add it to the image.

Q:  Should I run the tool by itself?
A:  I would run a matching perfmon so you could see the trending.

Setting a remote perfmon Windows Server 2012 style...

Note:  The instructions works for the Windows clients too.

Enjoy it.
