Microsoft Exam Questions

Which performance object should you monitor on Server1?

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain
contains a member server named Server1. Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2 and has
the Hyper-V server role installed.
Server1 hosts 10 virtual machines. A virtual machine named VM1 runs Windows Server
2012 R2 and hosts a processor-intensive application named App1.
Users report that App1 responds more slowly than expected.
You need to monitor the processor usage on VM1 to identify whether changes must be
made to the hardware settings of VM1.
Which performance object should you monitor on Server1?

A.
Processor

B.
Hyper-V Hypervisor Virtual Processor

C.
Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor

D.
Hyper-V Hypervisor Root Virtual Processor

E.
Process

Explanation:
In the simplest way of thinking the virtual processor time is cycled across the available
logical processors in a round-robin type of fashion. Thus all the processing power gets used
over time, and technically nothing ever sits idle.
To accurately measure the processor utilization of a guest operating system, use the
“\Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor(Total)\% Total Run Time” performance monitor
counter on the Hyper-V host operating system.
