| Dashboard | Appears at top of the navigation area Perform common tasks within Server Manager Displays the state of the servers and roles within your organization |
| Navigation area | displays four server roles that can be monitored and managed Active Directory Domain Services DHCP DNS File and Storage Services. |
| Performance allows you to | See the performance of the associated servers Configure (CPU) usage and memory alerts |
| Server Roles | Server roles are managed in Server Manager (e.g., Storage Spaces) since Server 2012. |
| BPA scan | Checks if server roles meet Microsoft guidelines and shows security suggestions. |
| BPA Level of severity Information | The server is okay now, but a recommended improvement can make it better. |
| BPA Level of severity Warning | The server is fine for now, but it could become a problem later if things change. |
| BPA Level of Severity Error | Server role does not meet best practices, and problems can be expected. |
| Which operating system feature automatically finds and sets up new hardware so it works with the computer? | Plug and Play (PnP) or plug and pray |
| Data Execution Prevention | Monitors server programs for memory use issues |
| Virtual memory | Disk storage used to expand capacity of physical memory |
| Paging file | Disk space used for virtual memory Location matters Key settings: Initial size (RAM × 1.5) and Maximum size |
| Virtual memory uses a paging technique how? | Pages move from physical memory into virtual memory on disk |
| Configuring file caching | File Caching turned on by default Speeds up the time it takes to read from or write to a disk |
| Flushing | Frees memory after cached data is written to disk; can disable caching/flushing for safer hot-swap. |
| Cache types | L1 – located directly on CPU core; faster L2 – larger, but slightly slower; acts as intermediary between L1 and main memory |
| Environment varriable | Tells the operating system where to find certain programs and program-related information |
| User environment variables | Defined on a per-user basis Used to provide a wide variety of different information |
| Three power plans Balanced | Gives a good mix of performance and power saving. |
| Windows Registry | Database containing all information the operating system needs about the entire system, including hardware and software Vital for windows operating system |
| Windows Server 2022 Registry’s five root keys 1 | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Information on every hardware component in the server |

| Windows Server 2022 Registry’s five root keys 3 | HKEY_USERS Profile information for each user who has signed into the computer |
| Windows Server 2022 Registry’s five root keys 4 | HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Holds data to associate file extensions with programs |
| Windows Server 2022 Registry’s five root keys 5 | HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG Information about the current hardware profile. |
| Three power plans Power saver | Favors energy savings over performance |
| Three power plans High performance | Hard disk and SSD drives are never turned off |
| Processor scheduling | Configures processor resources allocated to a program |
| System file signatures can become invalid | Overwritten, corrupted, modified by malware |
| System File Checker | Scans system files for integrity Replaces damaged or overwritten files with the proper version |
| File Signature Verifacation tool tool (Sigverif) | A scan-only tool that determines if files have a signature Output written to a log file called sigverif.txt |
| Simple PnP device installation process | Attach device Wait for Windows Server 2022 to detect it Install appropriate device drivers |
| Devices and Printers utility Slide 35 | Detects and installs new hardware Lets you add older (non-PnP) hardware Helps troubleshoot hardware issues Open from Control Panel |
| Windows Admin center | A new tool that is used for remotely managing Windows Server 2022. Preferred if hosting large numbers of remote Windows Server systems has a wide range of monitoring and management functionality |
| Categories for BPA recommendations Configuration | Indicates whether role settings are configured for best performance and avoid conflicts with other services |
| Categories for BPA recommendations Predeployment | Indicates whether prerequisites for the role are properly installed or configured |
| Categories for BPA recommendations Postdeployment | Indicates whether services needed for the role are started and running |
| Categories for BPA recommendations Performance | Indicates whether the role can preform the tasks for which it is intended on-time and adequately for the intended workload |
| Categories for BPA recommendations BPA prerequisites | Indicates whether the role is set up in such a way that BPA can analyze the role. Failure here simply means that a component or setting prevented the BPA from properly analyzing the role |
| Wizard | Allows you to connect Server Manager to servers and roles that you manage within the Microsoft Azure cloud. |
