We have a Windows server 2012 with 10 users. Randomly when we try to save something the server becomes very slow for around 30 seconds to 1 minutes while it is saving the changes.

Hello

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

This situation may have several possible causes. First, you may want to check your server's resource utilization, including CPU, memory, and disk usage. High resource utilization may cause performance degradation. It is also important to check the network connection and the disk health of the server. Additionally, you may want to review the background processes and services running on the server to determine if there are any issues that may be affecting performance. If possible, consider upgrading hardware (such as adding memory, using faster disk drives) or optimizing server configurations to improve performance.

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best Regards,

Since it's random, is there any utility to record the resources utilization for a period of time?

Hello，

Good day!

You can use Performance Monitor (PerfMon) to help you record resource utilization over time. You can open Performance Monitor by holding down Windows+R and typing perfmon.msc and pressing Enter.

You can create a Data Collector Set (DCS) that continuously monitors and records specified performance counters, such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk read and write speeds, etc.

In Performance Monitor, you can define data collection rules, set the time range for collecting data, and specify where the data is stored. It is recommended to refer to the following links:

Performance monitor: Windows Performance Monitor Overview - Microsoft Community Hub

I hope the information above is helpful.
