Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK)

Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) is a great tool for helping you see performance issues with signing in and booting up a system.

I have used it for Remote Desktop hosts to see where the processing is getting tied up.

When you are installing make sure you select the "Windows Performance Toolkit"

when its finished opened cmd as Administrator and type the following

xperf -on PROC_THREAD+LOADER+INTERRUPT+DPC+PROFILE+DISK_IO+HARD_FAULTS+DRIVERS+NETWORKTRACE+ALL_FAULTS -stackwalk profile -SetProfInt 1221

Then get the user to log in or log off depending on what your monitoring and once its finished switch back to the user that ran the above command and type

xperf -d <filename>.etl
