Recently I was troubleshooting terrible application Performance for a windows application.
This application is using files and directories located on a file server.
The file server OS was Windows server 2016 and the clients are Windows Server 2019 Citrix terminal servers.

When it comes to managing anything within IT, it will always be a good thing to keep things organized, in one way or another.
