Customer complaining about a slow server

Wow, yeah. This is a reliable server and beastly, runs like 4 VM's, but like any windows machine - it needs updates -

Windows updates can't be done without a reboot......... Yup, it's good but not too goooooodddd because windows updates and stufff Windows, that's the problem and therefore the reason it's slow -
So one of my customers at work was complaining that their server was running very very very slow. They have a decent server, I knew that from memory. So, I logged into our remote software to connect to it and noticed the following: So I told them it needed rebooting and they were unhappy to say the least, but ayyyyyy 420 #reliability

Please, No Microsoft. All I'll get at work is "My Windows has expired..." yet another thing to add to the list along with: Office Antivirus Various other pieces of software Plz don't implement, I know we wouldn't sell it because it sounds like too much hassle and customers WILL NOT keep on top of it...

Okay try this: windows key> defragment and optimise drives> select drive> optimise let it run, then I'd run a check disk like i said before Average HDD life span is like 2-4 years from experience

Okay, press windows key> type 'event viewer'> open 'windows logs'> double click on 'system' and scroll down the list looking for 'disk' in the source column and if you find any red or 'error' then you might wanna consider a replacement if it's warning then it's not too severe and could be anything. After that run a check disk on your C:\ drive. To do that do windows key> this pc> right click on your C:\ drive> properties> tools> 'check'> then it might throw an admin password needed, type that in> it will then say it can't do such and such until you restart your machine so do that and let it run.

Yeah RAID is easy, really though not much point. Better to have 2*1tb drives rather than using 2 drives to make a super redundant 1tb drive that's gonna only store a few minecraft saves and pictures from your family holiday last year Unless, you're saving like business-critical data then no real point in RAID's etc

Run a check disk, may help - but yeah Backup everything & buy a new one if check disk doesn't help. You could also look up system logs ine vent viewer and look for 'Error' with the source being 'disk'

O, I don't doubt that. Python just seemed easiest for a lot of people to pick up on
