Hello Everyone, I could see High page fault in my Windows Server 2016, Dont know the exact issue but it is above 100K ....In Procexp i could see some EXE with high page faults. Please help how we can fix it. Moreover the Memory is 32GB.

Page faults are not necessarily bad. File I/O that is resolved by the system cache is counted as a page fault. Your processes may just be doing I/O. You could use Process Monitor to see the I/O that the program is doing. Open task manager and check to see how much available memory you have. This image is from Win10, but should be close to Server16. If you have sufficient free memory then you don't have a memory problem.

Are you referring to BSOD with bugcheck 50: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA ? If no, then please explain. If yes, then logs can be collected for troubleshooting. . . . . .

I need one more help , If i have created a separate page file drive as P , Will it create any READ / WRITE Latency to the server or any other issues ?

And what i should check for READ / WRITE Latency.

I think it would all depend on the underlying hardware. Is it an SSD dedicated to the P drive or a RAID-5 where P is just one of several partitions? If your server has sufficient memory, then the page file should not play much of a role in overall performance. One thing that I would suggest that keep an eye on the disk queue length for the physical drive. If you have highly active databases on one partition and the P partition on the same drive then that might be an issue.

What I did for the servers that used to support (retired now) I configured a users defined data collector set in performance monitor. Every 15 minutes it recorded the counters for key groups like system, memory, physical disk, etc, into a daily csv file.

I had a global user base so I got a lot of emails like this: "hey the far east users complained about performance, what was your server doing at 3AM?". I then took the CSV file and ran it through the PAL tool to analyze the counters. It looks like the MS guy that developed that tool has moved on to other duties since it hasn't been updated in a while. But it still might be worth a look.

Do you know how we can check network bandwidth of any server?

I would use Powershell. Use Invoke-Command to execute Get-NetAdapter for a list of servers.
