Guest Alfred Falk Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I am monitoring certain performance counters on a number of servers. I want it to start and stop at particular times on a regular schedule. In Server 2008, there is a fully functional scheduler built in to Performance Logs properties, so no problem there. In Server 2003 and Server 2000 the scheduler is essentially one-time-only or manual start. In Server 2003 (and XP) there is a command-line tool "logman.exe" that will effect manual control, so the problem is solved there by setting up a scheduled task. But I'm stuck with one Server 2000 system. I tried copying logman.exe from 2003 to the 2000, but that doesn't work. Anybody have any suggestions? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- A L B E R T A Alfred Falk falk@arc.ab.ca R E S E A R C H Information Systems Dept (780)450-5185 C O U N C I L 250 Karl Clark Road Edmonton, Alberta, Canada http://www.arc.ab.ca/ T6N 1E4 http://outside.arc.ab.ca/staff/falk/

However, I re-read the docs on logman.exe which runs on W2K3, W2K8 and WXP. It is possible to start logging on another computer with command with logman start collectionname -s computername so I can run a scheduled task on a Server 2003 system to initiate logging on the Server 2000 system. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- A L B E R T A Alfred Falk falk@arc.ab.ca R E S E A R C H Information Systems Dept (780)450-5185 C O U N C I L 250 Karl Clark Road Edmonton, Alberta, Canada http://www.arc.ab.ca/ T6N 1E4 http://outside.arc.ab.ca/staff/falk/
