File server capacity planning and performance troubleshooting are critical aspects of high-level network administration. File server capacity planning tools can be valuable in choosing new hardware for purchase, identifying the capacity of existing hardware, locating existing bottlenecks, and planning for resource expansion in advance of resource exhaustion.
The throughput capacity of a file server can be expressed either as the maximum number of operations per second or a maximum number of users supported by the configuration. These values are influenced by several factors, some of which include processor speed, available memory, disk speed, network throughput and latency, and the speed with which SMB requests are processed.
This release adds compatibility for when SMBv1 is disabled or not present, and improvements to error handling when attempting to start or stop services. This version of FSCT is required when running on Windows Server, Semi-Annual Channel as SMBv1 is no longer installed by default. See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 4034314 for more information on the deprecation of SMBv1.Supported Operating Systems
