Guest KG Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 We are having a problem trying to access perfmon data of a DC from a remote system. When we run performance monitor on the DC everything works fine. But when we run performance monitor from another computer and access the DC it doesn't populate the objects selection box. TIA
Guest Justin Rich Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Re: Accessing perfmon data remotely from Domain Controller so when you type the name in and then click on the drop down for objects what does it do? does it hang for a while and then spew and empty list? does it quickly spit out an empty list? do you get any error messages? how did you type in the computer name? did you prefix it with \\ ? its possible you have a name resolution issue. one thing to try is to open computer management and remotely connect to the DC. It works about the same and you'll be able to elimate a few things.

It works about the same and you'll be able to elimate a few things. This gives us the same results. I can view event logs and manage services from here. But if I try to go to Counter Logs and create a new log, when I creata a new log and try to add objects it comes back with an empty Performance Objects window. > > Justin > > "KG" <KG@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:241B70AB-2247-44CB-98DB-14E1A447E301@microsoft.com... > > We are having a problem trying to access perfmon data of a DC from a > > remote > > system.

Guest Justin Rich Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Re: Accessing perfmon data remotely from Domain Controller There is only one of 3 ways i can see that it would be accessing this data and it looks like we eliminated one of them (RPC via the computer management) the other two would be WMI and the registry.. if you have powershell on your workstation you can easily run a remote WMI call to see if there are any issues accessing WMI data (not sure what WMI uses to pull data remotely, it might actually be RPC) and you can connect to the registry remotely via regedit. there is a remote registry service you might want to make sure is running on the server. if those two work fine than i would say there is a chance you have strange permissions going on perhaps. Are you using the same AD account on both machines? the event log didnt have anything? some times perfmon stuff is only showed as an info event and not an error or important event. also, it could show up on either machine. local workstation would show a connection issue and the remote server might show a security issue or missing data. i assume you dont run the firewall, but its worth asking.
