sometimes you just have to run perfmon locally and not remotely. that's what i'd do. and set the priority of the process to "above normal".

The TS users have been reporting that things are 'sticky' today, so we fired up the perfmon set that we have saved for this kind of thing expecting that someone has a rogue process munching the CPU cycles or something. However the server was 'sticky' and when this stickyness occurs the perfmon graphs just show no value. The last value field shows ---- and the actual graph line just vanishes. Anyone know why that would be ? The values being measured are things like disk read queue, write queue, processor %, active sessions etc. They can all be affected, or just individual counters. I'm assuming that if perfmon is getting probs reading values then it has to be something to do with WMI not responding in time on the machines being monitored. Any ideas?
