Server 2012 R2 VM RDP Access Logging in Super Slow
-
Any recommendations for a small tool I can use to log out performance output to see what's causing the spike so I can review it via notepad or whatever.
Whatever is causing these spikes, hits and then disappears before I can see what it is.
I'll try screenconnect.

I've used this before to monitor logons to find what is causing issues.

It appears to be an issue where anyone attempting to RDP into the VM is passing their Clipboard, printers, etc via the RDP connection.
Specifically the problem appears to be due to the "Portable Device Enumerator Service".
At least from what I can tell at the moment. I'll do some testing at some point today and see what I can figure out.

just wondering - what leads you to this conclusion?
-
It's only upon login that the system runs horribly. Disabling the service and then signing in, the login performance is greatly increased.
-
How could that then affect the XenServer console as those things don't exist there.
-
The XS Console prompts to provide these services for RDP.

To what do they connect because they would be connecting to the XS machine, not to Windows!

I'm not certain but I can only assume that the XenCenter console attempts to pass this information through to the guest VM.

Also this is likely why the login time was taking forever. (IE hey I can't find these devices)

That doesn't make sense to me, RDP isn't to the VM but to XS.

No you'd RDP directly to the VM (if you don't have console access).
I'm the only person in the organization that has console access, my vendor nor other IT members have access to the XS console. (or even XenCenter)

Were you seeing issues logging in directly to the console via XenCenter?

That's what he said when I asked earlier.

Only while others were complaining about the login performance (which in XC, I know I should just use XO stupid me) would prompt me to pass my devices to the guest. Even if I said no don't pass devices.

So you were seeing issues in the console and RDP. That seems to indicate the issue isn't RDP client side passthrough.

Or he is not truly using the console.

I was discussing this on ML the other day that I think XC uses RDP for its console. At least on the Server 2003 box I have that is always throwing up a RDP error when I click on console.

Add more ram?
Not really enough info. What's running on it how much ram/cpu does it have?
