THanks for the info. I need to know more about Performance Monitor built into Windows though.  Can someone help me with what counters to use on a file server and what's normal in perfmon?

I know how to add counters and I know I want to monitor Memory, Network Interface, Physical Disk (what is logical disk?). &nbsp;I don't know what counters to add for the above objects. &nbsp;I also don't know what is normal. &nbsp;I don't have a baseline, but was hoping experts could give me an estimate of what is normal for a system?
