Maybe Im doing something wrong, but will the version of Perfmon that comes with Win 7 allow me to connect and use perf counters on that machine?
I can successfully connect from my Win 7 workstation to a remote (same domain) 2003 server. I then enter the server name when adding a new counter, and it acts as though its been added, but I do not see it update the display chart.
What am I missing? No errors are seen that I could tell.
I can remote into the 2003 server just fine (using my same domain account) and launch Permon locally, and the perf counters are added and start updating the display immediately.
I think I will in the future look more favorably to the SQL DMV
