I have tried to run perfmon remotely against SQL2000 server from
my PC (W2000) .I can run it in real time using system monitor, but I cannot use counter logs and save the data into a .CSV file.
by looking into my application log I get the followying error:
<<<
The service was unable to add the counter '\\MyServer\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time' to the MyServer log or alert. This log or alert will continue, but data for that counter will not be collected.
To collect data from a remote computer, the Performance Logs and Alerts service must run under an account that has access to the remote system.
>>>
Do I need more rights ... do I need write access to My Server ?
Or there is a way arround it.
Thank you for your help

Yes, you need a higher level of rights to the server. Generally, I have myself made admin on the server, so I could not tell you what level you absolutely need, but I can tell you that admin has all the neccessary permissions....

In your machine, there is a service called 'sysmonlog', ie performance logs and alerts. You have to change the startup account in this service to a domain account that has local administrator right in your serevr.

I found the sysmonlog and I will have a talk with my sysadmin about permissions.
Thank you very much
