 Optimize server performance for background services rather than for applications.

by having an application running in the foreground. Perform the following steps to optimize server
performance:
a. On the ShoreTel server desktop click Start > Control Panel > System.
b. Select the Advanced tab or click Advanced system settings.
c. Depending on your system, do one of the following:
 Click Performance Options. The Performance Options dialog box appears.
 Under Performance, click Settings, and then select the Advanced tab.
d. Select the Background services radio button.
e. Make sure the paging file size (virtual memory) on the server is large enough.

Connections > Network Connections.

Note
The paging file size should be 1 to 3 times larger than the physical memory on the server. If you
have 512 MB of memory, the paging file size should be between 512 MB and 1536 MB. To
increase the paging file size, click Change.
Note

run properly, you must disable IPv6 on all servers.
