VM-Aware

Server, Storage & Application Virtualisation!

I’ve found a multitude of blogs that point out that significant performance enhancements can be attained by disabling the File Last Access Time Check registry key in Windows Server 200x& XP.

I tried it and it does indeed make a difference, but don’t just take my word for it as Microsoft have disabled it by default in Vista & 2008.

Check out these blogs for various discussions about it:

• How To Geek
• Microsoft CAB Site
• PCTools
• VMwareInfo

Give it a go, unless of course you run an application that depends on this parameter being updated.
