Microsoft Exchange Performance Optimizer

Running the Microsoft Exchange Performance Optimizer is important during recovery to ensure that the recovery server is tuned properly. Hardware being equal, similar performance can be experienced following a full restore where Microsoft Exchange Server is reinstalled to a recovery server. Note that the Performance Optimizer log stored in the Winnt35\System32 directory does not expose the specific settings that were chosen during optimization.
