    I run the following statement in my local machine:

    select top 10 * from sys.dm_os_performance_counters;

    and I find the execute plan is Remote Scan. I am confused about this. Could anyone tell me why?

    Thank you in advance.

    It's just how many of the DMVs are implemented, using a mechanism kinda like a linked server. Don't worry about it.
