SharePoint Development Virtual PC ( VPC ) Optimization

Friday, March 13, 2009 06:17 | posted by: kevin

Over the last couple days we have had an issue with a development Virtual PC ( VPC ) image. After researching several issues/options, we made the following adjustments which resulted in vast improvements:

Exclude .VHD and .VSV within our anti-virus program
Install Virtual Machine Additions
Stop unnecessary Win Services
- WSearch
- UXSms
Enable Hardware Acceleration
Fixed W3WP.exe
Defrag
- Host PC OS
- VPC OS

After making those changes we pre-compacted the virtual hard drive
Compacted the virtual hard drive

If you have additional tips please send them along and I will include them in this list.
