| 706381 | 2008-09-19 11:34:00 | Hi There. Im trying to use XP's performance Monitor to measure CPU usage on a networked PC (my HTPC) I right click on the graph, 'add counters', 'select counter from computer', '\\HTPC' I get the error "unable to connect to machine" Ive tried disabling firewalls etc (I can browse files across the network) Any ideas on how to get this to work?? |

| 706382 | 2008-09-19 21:50:00 | Hi Sroby, The problem I ran into when attempting this same thing, was the RPC service on the remote PC has to be running, and if in a domain you have to have Domain Admin or Local admin rights of Power user or higher. Hers what the F1 help has to say about it. Performance Monitor is a simple yet powerful visualization tool for viewing performance data, both in real time and from log files. With it, you can examine performance data in a graph, histogram, or report. Membership in the local Performance Log Users group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. To start Performance Monitor Click Start, click in the Start Search box, type perfmon, and press ENTER. In the navigation tree, expand Monitoring Tools, and then click Performance Monitor. You can also use Performance Monitor to view real-time performance data on a remote computer. Membership in the target computer's Performance Log Users group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. To connect to a remote computer with Performance Monitor Start Performance Monitor. In the navigation tree, right-click Reliability and Performance, and then click Connect to another computer. In the Select Computer dialog box, type the name of the computer you want to monitor, or click Browse to select it from a list. Click OK. Additional considerations To view performance counters from a remote computer, the Performance Logs and Alerts firewall exception must be enabled on the remote computer. In addition, members of the Performance Log Users group must also be members of the Event Log Readers group on the remote computer.
