Optimizing Database Performance
Maximizing Throughput
SQL Server Setup automatically configures Microsoft® Windows NT® to maximize throughput for network applications. This enables the server to accommodate more connections. Although maximizing throughput for network applications is recommended for Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000, you can change this setting.
If the Full-Text Search feature is installed, the Windows NT Server or Windows 2000 configuration must be set for maximizing throughout for network applications and must not be changed.
Note The Windows NT Server configuration setting does not apply to computers running Windows NT Workstation. For more information, see the Windows NT or Windows 2000 documentation.
