Hi Howard

I though you are referring to _my_ Home Page and was insulted. Grrr.

Oh, yes. The Home Page of a Moodle site, when the URL is the domain name? It is always the Site in Moodle jargon. The Dashboard has a /my suffix. (Am I mistaken?)

All the Moodle sites I manage have defaulthomepage = site. I find dashboard is for those who don't know where they come from, according to the motto here on moodle.org "everybody is sent here by Google". In contrast the site is a common entry page with Site news, Tip of the Week, urgent calls, etc.

Hi Stephen

Here are some more pieces of information that could be useful to the others:
- Virtualization host(s)
-- OS? You said VMware, but is it ESX? Version?
-- Hardware? Specially the disc system. Are they fast drives or even SSD?
-- Are both VMs on the same virtulization host?
-- Any other VMs running on it?

- Database server
-- vCPUs of the database server?
-- OS of the database server? You mentioned SQL Server 2016, so perhaps Windows Server 2016. Which release/version?
-- Is it shared? I mean, does it serve applications other than this Moodle?

As you may have noticed, Windows is not my world.
