After installing Guest VM Agent on Windows Server 2016 VMs they boot much slower

Eric Stoick over 7 years ago

The Guest VM Agent seems to have a significant impact on boot times for Windows Server 2016 VMs. (20+ seconds)

After uninstalling the Sophos Guest VM Agent, Windows Server 2016 VMs boots at normal speeds.

Hello Eric Stoick

Sorry you have seen degradation on Windows Server 2016.

We have an upcoming maintenance release which does have increase in performance goals. Would you have any logs or evidence you can send to support as any real world evidence would certainly be of benefit.

thanks

What logs would you like collected and what would be the best email address to send them to?

Hi Eric,

We have written this KBA on how to get logs and send to support

https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/125681

Also anecdotally could you tell support what is the machines main job (ie file server/mail server etc)

what apps are running and what are they doing on startup?

We also have this Sophos for Virtual Environments KBA landing page which has links to articles and FAQs
