Planning a Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure. The success
of any information technology (IT) project is based on good planning. Although
there are many methodologies for creating a good plan, all of them must consider
the following:
- Choosing the members of the team
- Identifying the goals of the team
- Documenting the existing situation
- Defining objectives and tasks
- Testing the project
- Rolling out the project

Network Performance Problems and Solutions
- slow segment on the backbone acting as a choke point. Solutions may include
replacing broken components or redesigning the network to eliminate slow segments
in the backbone
- bottlenecks can be caused by lack of capacity in the processor, RAM, storage
subsystem, or network card
- The tools used to monitor network performance include:
Optimizing Network Settings
- Binding
- Minimizing Network Protocols
- MTU (PMTU)
