Scheduling Perfmon Recurring

Is there a way to schedule perfmon to run on a recurring schedule. I need it
to run during the business everyday for a week and currently will have to go
into the each server and set the schedule everyday. Is there a way to start
it remotely?

You can use the Logman utility that is available with XP or Win2K resource
kit. But why start and stop it each day? It does not take up that much
disk space. Are you running the gui or making a trace log? Open up perfmon
and expand the node in the treeview on the left where it says "Performance
Logs and Alerts". Then right click on the node that says "Counter Logs" and
choose "New Log settigs". Then give it a name and fill int he settings.
This will create a trace file that you can load back into perfmon later when
you want to read it or use the Logman utility to load the results into a
table. In either case there is a section for scheduling and you can tell it
to stop at the end of the week.
